Van Dyck's Portrait of Willem Hondius achieved an impressive $1.7m hammer ($2,107,000 inc. fees) at Christie's New York yesterday afternoon. A quick search through Artnet seems to suggest that this may be a record for a work on paper by the artist.* Quite something for a work that had purportedly dropped off the radar of scholars for many decades!
* - I'm sure readers will get in touch in case I am wrong about this.
