The work Portrait of a boy, full-length, as Saint John the Baptist by Jan de Baen was auctioned at Christies in London in January 2011. It achieved a price of GBP 21,250.00 (€ 23,848.34), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 42%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jan de Baen - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait of a man standing before a desk and curtain, three-quarter length; Portrait of a woman seated before a landscape and curtain, which sold at auction in May last year for USD 69,300.00 (€ 64,579.26).
