This artwork by Mattheus Lau achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Amsterdam in June 2002. In the PICTURES, WATERCOLOURS & DRAWINGS INCLUDING FLOWER PICTURES auction, the work A view of Hargen, Noord Holland sold for EUR 1,434.00 - well above the upper estimate of EUR 800.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Mattheus Lau achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Die Predigt in June 2021 with an auction result of EUR 18,750.00.

Dieses Kunstwerk von Mattheus Lau erzielte im Juni 2002 bei Christies in Amsterdam einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion PICTURES, WATERCOLOURS & DRAWINGS INCLUDING FLOWER PICTURES wurde die Arbeit A view of Hargen, Noord Holland für EUR 1.434,00 versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von EUR 800,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Mattheus Lau erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Die Predigt im Juni 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 18.750,00.
