Sold at the lower estimate price
The work La bella addormentata by Willem Johannes Martens was sold in the Old Masters & 19th Century Art - (including Dutch Impressionism) auction at Christies in Amsterdam in May 2016. The result of EUR 4,000.00 was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of EUR 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Willem Johannes Martens - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The happy family, which sold at auction in November 2002 for GBP 7,637.50 (€ 11,959.93).
