This artwork by Pieter Holsteyn the Younger achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in April 2002. In the The Dr Anton C.R.Dreesmann Collection Old Master Pictures auction, the work Two Red Admiral butterflies, a moth, a weevil, a grasshopper and two pupae sold for GBP 19,975.00 (€ 32,319.03) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 8,000.00. Admittedly, works by Pieter Holsteyn the Younger have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A tulip book: a volume containing 42 drawings of tulips and one added drawing of a tulip, and another drawing of an iris in April 2002 with an auction result of GBP 124,750.00 (€ 201,842.23).
