This artwork by Jan de Braij achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in July 2014. In the The I.Q. van Regteren Altena Collection. Part I auction, the work Design for a musical emblem: A chamber orchestra performing within an architectural surround, accompanied by putti, Apollo and the Muses sold for GBP 40,000.00 (€ 50,452.58) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 20,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jan de Braij - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Violin Player Accompanying Two Young Singers, which sold at auction in July 2015 for GBP 125,000.00 (€ 177,208.02).
