Arne Everwijn – Director and Head of Sale, 19th Century European and Orientalist Art We are very pleased with the strong results of the auction, which showed strong international bidding. We are particularly pleased with the result of Las tres hermanas en la playa by Joaquín Sorolla which was competed for by two private collectors. We look forward to our next sale of 19th Century European Art which is taking place in Amsterdam on the 23-24th of June.
