A top price for Jan Fris - as previously expected

The work A still life with a stoneware jug, a glass of beer, playing cards and smokers’ requisites by Jan Fris was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2021. The price achieved of USD 365,400.00 (€ 301,112.48) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 300,000.00 – 500,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A still life with a stoneware jug, a glass of beer, playing cards and smokers’ requisites is the most expensive artwork by Jan Fris that we have observed at auctions so far.
