A top price for Baldassare De Caro - as previously expected
The work An Upturned Basket Of Figs, Together With Apricots, Other Fruit And Flowers In A Landscape Setting by Baldassare De Caro was sold in the Old Master Paintings Day Sale auction at Sothebys in London in December 2008. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 30,000.00 – 50,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 34,850.00 (€ 36,602.64) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, An Upturned Basket Of Figs, Together With Apricots, Other Fruit And Flowers In A Landscape Setting is the most expensive artwork by Baldassare De Caro that we have observed at auctions so far.
