The work Five putti by a vase on a plinth: An allegory of spring or summer by Jacob de Wit was sold in the Old Master Drawings and British Drawings and Watercolours auction at Christies in London in December 2016. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 4,000.00 (€ 4,676.65), 33% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jacob de Wit achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work An allegory of painting and sculpture; and An allegory of music and dance - en grisaille in July this year with an auction result of GBP 97,020.00 (€ 113,192.93).
