The work A blue tit, a red finch, a patridge, a kingfisher, and other dead birds on a half draped table, with a glass and silver rimmed jug by Alexander Adriaenssen was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2007. It achieved a price of GBP 7,800.00 (€ 11,584.80), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 30%. Admittedly, works by Alexander Adriaenssen have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Roses and an iris in a glass vase, crabs and prawns on a pewter platter, a Façon-de-Venise wineglass, a stoneware ewer, a bunch of grapes, a bread roll and a roemer on a partly-draped table in December 2004 with an auction result of GBP 33,460.00 (€ 47,355.12).
