A top price for Jan van den Hecke the Elder

In July 2019 Christies in London held the auction Old Masters Evening Sale, which included the work Flowers in a glass roemer on a ledge by Jan van den Hecke the Elder. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 175,000.00 (€ 192,138.36), 46% above the upper estimate. With this result, Flowers in a glass roemer on a ledge is even the most expensive work of art by Jan van den Hecke the Elder that we have observed at auctions so far.
