This artwork by Marcellus Laroon II achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in July 2015. In the Old Master and British Drawings and Watercolours auction, the work The Music Party sold for GBP 12,500.00 (€ 17,720.80) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 6,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Marcellus Laroon II - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A bird snarer, which sold at auction in July 2011 for GBP 34,850.00 (€ 39,995.59).
