Upper estimate price exceeded by 25 %.
The work Small Dutch Vessels In A Light Breeze Anchored Off A Beach by Willem van de Velde II was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2018. It achieved a price of GBP 250,000.00 (€ 280,304.97), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 25%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Willem van de Velde II achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Dutch men-o'-war and other shipping in a calm in December 2011 with an auction result of GBP 5,921,250.00 (€ 7,091,533.28).
