This artwork by Jan Wyck achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in December 2016. In the Old Masters Day Sale auction, the work Equestrian portrait of a commander, possibly James Butler, 2nd Duke of Ormande (1665-1745), at the Battle of the Boyne sold for GBP 35,000.00 (€ 40,920.68) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 20,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Jan Wyck; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot View Of Sprotborough Hall, Near Doncaster, Yorkshire, With Cattle And Herdsman On The Banks Of The River Don Before sold at auction in June 2002 with the realized price of GBP 45,410.00 (€ 70,238.99).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 75 % übertroffen
