Sold at the lower estimate price
The work Amorum Emblemata... Antwerp: Henrik Swingen, for the author, 1608. by Otto van Veen was sold in the The Collection of Arthur & Charlotte Vershbow Part Three: The Baroque and Rococo Periods auction at Christies in New York in June 2013. The result of USD 6,000.00 (€ 4,611.84) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 6,000.00 – 8,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Otto van Veen achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Capture of Rome in July 2018 with an auction result of GBP 728,750.00 (€ 817,088.99).
