    Que valor tiene esta joya?





    Que valor tiene esta joya?

  • Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen answered

    Hi Sergio, Excuse me for not answering in Spanish. Unfortunately we cannot say anything sensible about the financial value of the pieces in our collection. We wrok with (art)historical value. You might want to look up prices of comparable pieces at ArtPrice, E-bay or Catawiki. Kind regards, Els
