A top price for Jacob Willemsz. Delff II - as previously expected

The work Portrait of a gentleman, half-length, in a black slashed doublet and white lace collar; and Portrait of a lady, half-length, in a black dress and lace collar by Jacob Willemsz. Delff II was sold in the Old Master Paintings & Sculpture Online auction at Christies in London in December 2020. It changed hands for a price of GBP 27,500.00 (€ 30,719.95) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Portrait of a gentleman, half-length, in a black slashed doublet and white lace collar; and Portrait of a lady, half-length, in a black dress and lace collar is the most expensive artwork by Jacob Willemsz. Delff II that we have observed at auctions so far.
