This artwork by Leendert de Koningh the Elder achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Amsterdam in September 2003. In the Pictures, Watercolours and Drawings auction, the work Washer women at a riverbank, a castle beyond sold for EUR 3,346.00 - well above the upper estimate of EUR 1,600.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Leendert de Koningh the Elder - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Shipping offshore in breezy weather, which sold at auction in April 2000 for GBP 5,640.00 (€ 9,655.45).
