This artwork by Werner van den Valckert achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in April 2001. In the Important Old Master Pictures auction, the work Portrait of a lady, aged 30, half-length, in an embroidered burgundy bodice, with a white ruff and white cap, a glove in her right hand sold for GBP 37,600.00 (€ 60,615.91) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 20,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Werner van den Valckert - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A girl holding pancakes in a feigned stone window, which sold at auction in December 2018 for GBP 175,000.00 (€ 194,965.52).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Werner van den Valckert erzielte im April 2001 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Important Old Master Pictures wurde die Arbeit Portrait of a lady, aged 30, half-length, in an embroidered burgundy bodice, with a white ruff and white cap, a glove in her right hand für GBP 37.600,00 (€ 60.615,91) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 20.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Werner van den Valckert mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A girl holding pancakes in a feigned stone window beobachtet, die im Dezember 2018 für GBP 175.000,00 (€ 194.965,52) versteigert wurde.
