Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Two Studies Of Kneeling Apostles by Baldassare Franceschini was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2020. The price achieved of USD 15,000.00 (€ 13,522.04) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Baldassare Franceschini achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of the Marchese Altoviti as Hylas in April 2017 with an auction result of USD 751,500.00 (€ 689,765.95).
