This artwork by Vilhelm Hammershøi achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in May 2015. In the 19th Century European Paintings auction, the work Danish interior, Strandgade 30 sold for GBP 2,045,000.00 (€ 2,843,357.29) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 900,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Vilhelm Hammershøi - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Stue (Interior with an Oval Mirror), which sold at auction in May last year for USD 6,300,000.00 (€ 5,870,841.49).
