Picture: Christie's

Several pictures that performed well in the Christie's Old Masters to Modern Day sale included the following Neapolitan School, 17th Century Allegory of Painting, which realised £120,650 (all prices inc. commission) over its £6k - £8K estimate. A Follower of Rembrandt portrait also made £101,600 over its £20k - £30k estimate, and a very fun 16th century Brussels School hawking party £120,650 over its £12k - £18k estimate.
Down the road at Sotheby's no particular unattributed pictures soared past their estimates. Although, there were several very strong results against estimates achieved by pictures by Guercino, Sebastian Vrancx, Willem Claesz Heda, Simon Luttichuys and Eglon Hendrik van der Neer.
