Artwork auctioned at eight times the upper estimate price
The work The Woman With The Cat by Jan Cornelisz. Vermeyen was worth GBP 52,500.00 (€ 71,292.48) to a buyer in December 2015. This price was achieved in the auction Old Master Prints at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 6,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jan Cornelisz. Vermeyen achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait Of Joost Aemszoon Van Der Burch in April 2016 with an auction result of USD 2,741,000.00 (€ 2,395,769.60).
