A top price for Master I. B.
When the work Saturn, from: The Seven Planets by Master I. B. was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 700.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 4,000.00 (€ 4,461.70). This high result makes Saturn, from: The Seven Planets the most expensive artwork by Master I. B. that we have observed at auctions so far.

Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Saturn, from: The Seven Planets zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Master I. B., das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
