Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
The work Barn interior with a woman churning butter by Willem Kalf was worth GBP 107,100.00 (€ 125,814.91) to a buyer in March 2021. This price was achieved in the auction Quality in Detail. The Juli and Andrew Wieg Collection at Sothebys in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 18,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Willem Kalf achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Chafing Dish, Two Pilgrims' Canteens, A Silver-Gilt Ewer, A Plate And Other Tableware On A Partially Draped Table in May 2019 with an auction result of USD 2,775,000.00 (€ 2,489,012.47).
