The work The rival sacrifices of Eilijah and the priests of Baal by Rombout van Troyen was sold in the Old Master & British Pictures & Old Master Drawings auction at Christies in London in December 2008. The result of GBP 2,500.00 (€ 2,625.73) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 2,500.00 – 3,500.00. Admittedly, works by Rombout van Troyen have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work King Ahaz Sacrifices His Son To Moloch in May 2019 with an auction result of GBP 20,000.00 (€ 22,638.80).
