A top price for Jacob van Walscapelle - as previously expected

The work A peony, an iris, a poppy, anemones, morning glory and other flowers, in a glass vase, with a caterpillar, a beetle and other insects, on a stone ledge by Jacob van Walscapelle was sold in the Old Master & British Paintings Evening Sale auction at Christies in London in July 2014. The price achieved of GBP 722,500.00 (€ 911,299.66) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 600,000.00 – 800,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A peony, an iris, a poppy, anemones, morning glory and other flowers, in a glass vase, with a caterpillar, a beetle and other insects, on a stone ledge is the most expensive artwork by Jacob van Walscapelle that we have observed at auctions so far.
