This artwork by Willem Schellinks achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in January 2005. In the Old Master and 19th Century Drawings auction, the work A view of the Piazza del Duomo, Messina, with the Fountain of Orion, the Cathedral to the right sold for USD 33,600.00 (€ 25,749.10) - well above the upper estimate of USD 15,000.00.
