A top price for Lieven Cruyl - as previously expected
In July 2012 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master & British Drawings Sale, which included the work View Of The Construction Of The Pont Neuf Du Louvre, Paris, In June 1686 by Lieven Cruyl. The price achieved of GBP 67,250.00 (€ 85,658.42) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 60,000.00 – 80,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, View Of The Construction Of The Pont Neuf Du Louvre, Paris, In June 1686 is the most expensive artwork by Lieven Cruyl that we have observed at auctions so far.
