The Sotheby's London Old Master & 19th Century Paintings Evening Auction realised £30,670,450 (all prices inc. commission) tonight with a sell-through rate of 76.66%.*
The big lots managed to attract bids within and at the top of their estimates, including the Hans Eworth, Rembrandt, Rubens, Turner and Brueghel the Younger, as the total above demonstrates. Lots that performed well against their pre-sale estimates were the triptych from Sherborne Almshouse which soared to £5,664,000 over its £2.5m - £3.5m estimate, the Teniers Village landscape which made £215,900 over its £80k - £120k estimate, the Eglon van der Neer Mousetrap which realised £254,000 over its £80k - £120k estimate and the early German portrait of an architect which realised £317,500 over its £100k - £150k estimate.
