In June 2003 Christies in London held the auction British Pictures 1500-1850, which included the work Double portrait of a boy and a girl of the Lister family, full-length, the boy holding a hare in his right hand, the girl in a white dress, with flowers in her hair, seated on a cushion, a red curtain and landscape beyond by Herman Verelst. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 17,925.00 (€ 25,759.20), 49% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Herman Verelst have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Roses, a tulip, a poppy and other flowers in a vase and a half-peeled orange in a roemer, on a stone ledge in December 2012 with an auction result of GBP 85,250.00 (€ 105,136.93).

Im Juni 2003 führte Christies in London die Auktion British Pictures 1500-1850 durch, in der auch die Arbeit Double portrait of a boy and a girl of the Lister family, full-length, the boy holding a hare in his right hand, the girl in a white dress, with flowers in her hair, seated on a cushion, a red curtain and landscape beyond von Herman Verelst zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 17.925,00 (€ 25.759,20) und damit 49% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Herman Verelst auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Roses, a tulip, a poppy and other flowers in a vase and a half-peeled orange in a roemer, on a stone ledge im Dezember 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 85.250,00 (€ 105.136,93).
