Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Portrait of a gentlemen, three-quarter-length, in crimson robes of office, resting his right hand on a chair with a letter, and gloves in his left hand by Justus Sustermans was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2002. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 30,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 31,070.00 (€ 47,694.01). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Justus Sustermans - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait Of A Gentleman, which sold at auction in January 2008 for USD 169,000.00 (€ 113,873.73).
