Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Nauwkeurige Beschryving der Aardgewassen, Waar in de Veelerley Aart en Bijzondere Eigenschappen der Boomen, Heesters, Kruyden, Bloemen Accurate Description of Terrestrial Plants: Six Plates by Abraham Munting was sold in the The House Sale auction at Christies in New York in September 2003. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 2,031.50 (€ 1,231.21) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Abraham Munting achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Naauwkeurige Beschryving des Aardgewassen, Leiden, 1696, red morocco gilt in May last year with an auction result of GBP 100,800.00 (€ 118,581.60).
