Upper estimate price exceeded by 51 %.
The work Italian landscape with hill-top town and herdsmen by Paul Bril was sold in the Old Master Drawings auction at Sothebys in New York in January 2021. The »bidding war« ended at USD 52,920.00 (€ 43,609.39), 51% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Paul Bril achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work An Extensive Landscape With Tobit, Tobias And The Archangel Raphael in July 2010 with an auction result of GBP 713,250.00 (€ 857,602.76).

Die Arbeit Italian landscape with hill-top town and herdsmen von Paul Bril wurde im Januar 2021 in der Auktion Old Master Drawings bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 52.920,00 (€ 43.609,39) und damit 51% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Paul Bril erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit An Extensive Landscape With Tobit, Tobias And The Archangel Raphael im Juli 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 713.250,00 (€ 857.602,76).
