Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Jan Victors achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in July 2017. In the Old Master & British Works on Paper auction, the work Pharaoh Seeking Council From His Court And Scribes sold for GBP 43,750.00 (€ 48,818.28) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 15,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jan Victors - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Ruth And Naomi, which sold at auction in June 2015 for USD 187,500.00 (€ 168,101.13).
