Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Lucas van Valckenborch achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in April 2002. In the The Dr Anton C.R.Dreesmann Collection Old Master Pictures auction, the work A river landscape with the Blind leading the Blind, a kermesse in a village beyond sold for GBP 333,750.00 (€ 539,998.75) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 120,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Lucas van Valckenborch - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Summer: the Harvest ('Le Repas de Paysans'), which sold at auction in April 2007 for USD 2,840,000.00 (€ 2,079,062.96).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Lucas van Valckenborch erzielte im April 2002 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis.
