A top price for Antonio González Velázquez - as previously expected
In December 2012 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master & British Paintings Day Sale, which included the work Moses Striking The Rock; Moses And The Brazen Serpent by Antonio González Velázquez. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 21,250.00 (€ 26,207.15) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Moses Striking The Rock; Moses And The Brazen Serpent is the most expensive artwork by Antonio González Velázquez that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Dezember 2012 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Master & British Paintings Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Moses Striking The Rock; Moses And The Brazen Serpent von Antonio González Velázquez zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 21.250,00 (€ 26.207,15) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Moses Striking The Rock; Moses And The Brazen Serpent das teuerste Kunstwerk von Antonio González Velázquez, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
