A top price for Frans Pourbus the Elder

The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 90,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at USD 478,800.00 (€ 394,561.19). This high result makes Portrait of a young woman, aged 17, holding a small spaniel wearing a collar of bells the most expensive artwork by Frans Pourbus the Elder that we have observed at auctions so far.
