Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Madonna And Child With The Infant Saint John by Altobello Melone was sold in the Master Paintings auction at Sothebys in New York in May 2021. The price achieved of USD 69,300.00 (€ 56,831.23) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 60,000.00 – 80,000.00. Admittedly, works by Altobello Melone have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Adoration of the Child with Saints Francis of Assisi, Jerome, Catherine of Alexandria and Bernardino of Siena, the Shepherds and Journey of the Magi beyond in July 2002 with an auction result of GBP 149,650.00 (€ 238,697.56).
