A top price for Peter Paul Rubens
In July 2016 Christies in London held the auction Old Master and British Paintings Evening Sale, which included the work Lot and his Daughters by Peter Paul Rubens. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 44,882,500.00 (€ 53,330,119.54), 50% above the upper estimate. With this result, Lot and his Daughters is even the most expensive work of art by Peter Paul Rubens that we have observed at auctions so far.
