In July 2014 Christies in London held the auction The I.Q. van Regteren Altena Collection. Part I, which included the work A porcupine in profile, with two subsidiary studies of its head by Pieter Boel. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 22,500.00 (€ 28,379.57), 50% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Pieter Boel - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Swan, Rabbit And Other Game With A Parrot, Dogs, Fruit And Metalwork In A Classical Landscape, which sold at auction in January 2014 for USD 149,000.00 (€ 110,370.37).

Im Juli 2014 führte Christies in London die Auktion The I.Q. van Regteren Altena Collection. Part I durch, in der auch die Arbeit A porcupine in profile, with two subsidiary studies of its head von Pieter Boel zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 22.500,00 (€ 28.379,57) und damit 50% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Pieter Boel mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A Swan, Rabbit And Other Game With A Parrot, Dogs, Fruit And Metalwork In A Classical Landscape beobachtet, die im Januar 2014 für USD 149.000,00 (€ 110.370,37) versteigert wurde.
