This artwork by Johann Heinrich Roos achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in July 2008. In the Old Master and 19th Century Drawings auction, the work A peasant family and their animals by ruins sold for GBP 8,125.00 (€ 10,322.90) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 3,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Johann Heinrich Roos - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Huntsman Firing A Pistol In A Rocky Landscape, which sold at auction in January 2007 for USD 42,000.00 (€ 32,312.66).
