Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Mars, Venus And Cupid by Joachim Wtewael was sold in the Old Master & British Paintings Evening Sale auction at Sothebys in London in July 2015. The price achieved of GBP 965,000.00 (€ 1,368,045.88) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 800,000.00 – 1,200,000.00. Admittedly, works by Joachim Wtewael have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Mars and Venus Surprised by Vulcan in July 2012 with an auction result of GBP 4,633,250.00 (€ 5,901,515.18).
