In November 2001 Christies in London held the auction OLD MASTER PICTURES, which included the work A forest floor still life with peaches, plums, grapes on the vine and other fruits, with a lizard, a snail, butterflies and other insects by Jan Mortel. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 22,325.00 (€ 35,526.11), 49% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Jan Mortel have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Peaches, plums, apricots, grapes, pears, blackberries, sheafs of corn, chestnuts, walnuts, medlars, cherries and a pomegranate with a snail, a butterfly, a grasshopper and a caterpillar by a plinth in December 2005 with an auction result of GBP 120,000.00 (€ 174,173.28).

Im November 2001 führte Christies in London die Auktion OLD MASTER PICTURES durch, in der auch die Arbeit A forest floor still life with peaches, plums, grapes on the vine and other fruits, with a lizard, a snail, butterflies and other insects von Jan Mortel zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 22.325,00 (€ 35.526,11) und damit 49% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Jan Mortel auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Peaches, plums, apricots, grapes, pears, blackberries, sheafs of corn, chestnuts, walnuts, medlars, cherries and a pomegranate with a snail, a butterfly, a grasshopper and a caterpillar by a plinth im Dezember 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 120.000,00 (€ 174.173,28).
