Upper estimate price exceeded by 34 %.

The work A Wooded Landscape With Figures Dancing And Merry-Making In A Village by Lucas van Valckenborch was sold in the Old Master & British Paintings Evening Sale auction at Christies in London in December 2013. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 80,500.00 (€ 96,829.02), 34% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Lucas van Valckenborch achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Summer: the Harvest ('Le Repas de Paysans') in April 2007 with an auction result of USD 2,840,000.00 (€ 2,079,062.96).
