This artwork by Paul Bril achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Paris in December 2012. In the Old Master & British Paintings Evening Sale auction, the work Saint Jerome praying in a rocky landscape sold for GBP 505,250.00 (€ 623,113.57) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 250,000.00.
