A top price for Willem Zwart - as previously expected
The work Peaceful passtimes: a lady embroidering; and A lady making music by Willem Zwart was sold in the PICTURES, WATERCOLOURS AND DRAWINGS auction at Christies in Amsterdam in February 2004. The price achieved of EUR 1,195.00 was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as EUR 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Peaceful passtimes: a lady embroidering; and A lady making music is the most expensive artwork by Willem Zwart that we have observed at auctions so far.
