A top price for Jan Hendrik van Grootvelt - as previously expected
The work A family eating by candlelight in an interior by Jan Hendrik van Grootvelt was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2012. The price achieved of GBP 2,500.00 (€ 3,114.89) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A family eating by candlelight in an interior is the most expensive artwork by Jan Hendrik van Grootvelt that we have observed at auctions so far.
