Auction result well in line with expectations

The work An extensive, mountainous, river landscape, with Abraham and the Angels by Marten van Valckenborch I was sold in the Old Master & 19th Century Paintings, Drawings & Watercolours (Day Sale) auction at Christies in London in December 2010. The price achieved of GBP 25,000.00 (€ 28,999.92) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. Admittedly, works by Marten van Valckenborch I have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work An extensive river landscape with peasants haymaking, a view of Arenberg Castle beyond in December 2003 with an auction result of GBP 117,250.00 (€ 166,069.26).
