Willem Johannes Martens (Dutch, 1839-1895)
An elegant courtship
signed 'W.J. Martens' (lower right)
oil on canvas
42½ x 30 in. (108 x 76.2 cm.)

Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Willem Johannes Martens achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in April 2014. In the Interiors auction, the work An Elegant Courtship sold for USD 11,250.00 (€ 8,111.03) - well above the upper estimate of USD 5,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Willem Johannes Martens; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot The happy family sold at auction in November 2002 with the realized price of GBP 7,637.50 (€ 11,959.93).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
