A top price for Jan Mortel - as previously expected
The work Peaches, plums, apricots, grapes, pears, blackberries, sheafs of corn, chestnuts, walnuts, medlars, cherries and a pomegranate with a snail, a butterfly, a grasshopper and a caterpillar by a plinth by Jan Mortel was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2005. The auction ended at the price of GBP 120,000.00 (€ 174,173.28), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of GBP 80,000.00 – 120,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Peaches, plums, apricots, grapes, pears, blackberries, sheafs of corn, chestnuts, walnuts, medlars, cherries and a pomegranate with a snail, a butterfly, a grasshopper and a caterpillar by a plinth is the most expensive artwork by Jan Mortel that we have observed at auctions so far.
