There were some Old Masters that performed rather well in the recent  Les Stern: une famille de collectionneurs sale at Christie's Paris last week. Works by Hubert Robert, Fragonard and Maria van Oosterwyck soared past their top estimates, with a pair of Robert landscapes reaching €3,720,000 (inc. commission) against their estimate of €300k - 400k.
