Artwork auctioned at seven times the upper estimate price
The work The Colossus of Rhodes by Maerten de Vos was worth USD 87,500.00 (€ 78,878.57) to a buyer in January 2020. This price was achieved in the auction Old Master & British Drawings Including Works from the Collection of Jean Bonna at Christies in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 12,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Maerten de Vos - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Gathering of Manna, which sold at auction in July 2002 for GBP 100,150.00 (€ 159,743.13).
