This advertisement for paintings is early for the Low Countries as well. Later auctions have been studied by the Antwerp scholar Dr. Dries Lyna. In 2010 he published his PhD about this topic. It is entitled The cultural construction of value: art auctions in Antwerp and Brussels (1700-1794). Antwerp, University of Antwerp, 2010. In 2012, he surveyed the ‘British’ connection in a chapter of a book, called: ‘In search of a British connection: Flemish dealers on the London art market and the taste for continental paintings (1750-1800)’, in Charlotte Gould (ed.) et al., Marketing arts in the British Isles, 1700 to the present: a cultural history. Aldershot, Ashgate, 2012, pp. 101-118.
