Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
The work A wedding feast by Jan Steen was worth GBP 42,750.00 (€ 47,755.56) to a buyer in December 2020. This price was achieved in the auction Old Master Paintings at Bonhams in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 8,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jan Steen achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Prayer Before The Meal in December 2012 with an auction result of GBP 5,641,250.00 (€ 6,957,227.93).
