The work The Grotto of Virgil at Posillipo near Naples by Willem Schellinks was worth GBP 134,500.00 (€ 169,646.79) to a buyer in July 2014. This price was achieved in the auction The I.Q. van Regteren Altena Collection. Part I at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 35,000.00 many times over.
