A top price for Jacobus Buys - as previously expected
The work A Set Of Twelve Representations Of The Months by Jacobus Buys was sold in the Old Master Drawings auction at Sothebys in New York in January 2019. The price achieved of USD 62,500.00 (€ 54,566.09) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A Set Of Twelve Representations Of The Months is the most expensive artwork by Jacobus Buys that we have observed at auctions so far.
