A top price for Jan van Call the Elder - as previously expected
In July 2013 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master & British Drawings including French Masterworks from the Dormeuil Collection, which included the work View Of The Harbour Of Alexandria, Egypt by Jan van Call the Elder. It changed hands for a price of GBP 3,750.00 (€ 4,285.03) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 3,000.00 – 4,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, View Of The Harbour Of Alexandria, Egypt is the most expensive artwork by Jan van Call the Elder that we have observed at auctions so far.
