Upper estimate price exceeded by 61 %.
The work The Tower of Babel by Mathys Schoevaerdts was sold in the OLD MASTER PICTURES auction at Christies in London in December 2002. It achieved a price of GBP 96,850.00 (€ 148,669.60), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 61%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mathys Schoevaerdts - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A coastal scene with drovers and their herds and travellers in horse-drawn carts on a path, a harbour with shipping beyond; and An estuary with peasants in boats and along the shore, a town and shipping beyond; a pair, which sold at auction in January 2000 for USD 299,500.00 (€ 306,959.11).

Für andere Arbeiten von Mathys Schoevaerdts mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A coastal scene with drovers and their herds and travellers in horse-drawn carts on a path, a harbour with shipping beyond; and An estuary with peasants in boats and along the shore, a town and shipping beyond; a pair beobachtet, die im Januar 2000 für USD 299.500,00 (€ 306.959,11) versteigert wurde.
