Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Mars, Venus And Cupid by Joachim Wtewael was sold in the Old Master & British Paintings Evening Sale auction at Sothebys in London in July 2015. The price achieved of GBP 965,000.00 (€ 1,368,045.88) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 800,000.00 – 1,200,000.00.
