Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work Saint Joseph With The Christ Child by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo was sold in the Old Master & British Paintings Evening Sale auction at Sothebys in London in December 2013. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 698,500.00 (€ 840,187.17), 16% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Christ the Man of Sorrows in December 2005 with an auction result of GBP 2,472,000.00 (€ 3,587,969.60).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
