A top price for Pieter Faes - as previously expected
The work Still Life of roses, peonies, tulips, narcissus, and other flowers in a terracotta vase, with grapes and a peach by Pieter Faes was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May last year. The price achieved of USD 163,800.00 (€ 152,641.88) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 150,000.00 – 200,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Still Life of roses, peonies, tulips, narcissus, and other flowers in a terracotta vase, with grapes and a peach is the most expensive artwork by Pieter Faes that we have observed at auctions so far.
