A wooded landscape with zebras
signed and dated 'JvRoost fecit / 1716' (lower left)
oil on canvas
35 ¼ x 30 in. (89.5 x 76.5 cm.)

Upper estimate price exceeded by 75 %.

This artwork by Johann Melchior Roos achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in October 2014. In the Old Master and British Paintings auction, the work A wooded landscape with zebras sold for GBP 8,750.00 (€ 11,172.49) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Johann Melchior Roos - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Wild Boars In A Wooded Landscape; And Bears In A Wooded Landscape, which sold at auction in April 2016 for GBP 17,500.00 (€ 22,370.20).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Johann Melchior Roos erzielte im Oktober 2014 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master and British Paintings wurde die Arbeit A wooded landscape with zebras für GBP 8.750,00 (€ 11.172,49) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 5.000,00.
