A top price for Jacobus Biltius

The work A Trompe L'Oeil Still Life With Two Quails, A Kingfisher, A Bird Net And A Whistle by Jacobus Biltius was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2010. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 60,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 61,250.00 (€ 71,049.82). With this result, A Trompe L'Oeil Still Life With Two Quails, A Kingfisher, A Bird Net And A Whistle is even the most expensive work of art by Jacobus Biltius that we have observed at auctions so far.
