The work Roses, irises, poppies and other flowers in a glass vase, on a marble ledge with a tortoiseshell butterfly and insects by Willem van Aelst was auctioned at Christies in New York in January 2005. It achieved a price of USD 385,600.00 (€ 295,501.57), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 54%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Willem van Aelst - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Still life with grapes in a basket, peaches on a silver dish, medlars, two butterflies, a fly and a snail, all on a red velvet cloth over a partially draped ledge, which sold at auction in January 2021 for USD 1,230,000.00 (€ 1,013,597.03).
