The work The Infant Hercules With Putti Carrying Musical Instruments, A Quiver And A Laurel Wreath; The Infant Hercules With Putti Carrying A Helmet And A Laurel Wreath, With Flowers, A Quiver And An Antique Mask by Martin Jozef Geeraerts was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in February 2013. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 100,000.00 – 150,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 104,500.00 (€ 79,899.07) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The Infant Hercules With Putti Carrying Musical Instruments, A Quiver And A Laurel Wreath; The Infant Hercules With Putti Carrying A Helmet And A Laurel Wreath, With Flowers, A Quiver And An Antique Mask is the most expensive artwork by Martin Jozef Geeraerts that we have observed at auctions so far.
