Artwork auctioned at nine times the upper estimate price

The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 20,000.00 but the actual price achieved was Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Alonso Cano; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Santa Maria Maddalena dei Pazzi sold at auction in December 2021 with the realized price of GBP 126,000.00 (€ 150,291.57).
