In July 2020 Bonhams in London held the auction Old Master Paintings Part II, which included the work Saint Peter receiving the keys; and The Baptism of Christ by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 100,062.50 (€ 111,612.10), 25% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached 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).

Im Juli 2020 führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Old Master Paintings Part II durch, in der auch die Arbeit Saint Peter receiving the keys; and The Baptism of Christ von Bartolomé Esteban Murillo zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 100.062,50 (€ 111.612,10) und damit 25% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Bartolomé Esteban Murillo erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Christ the Man of Sorrows im Dezember 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 2.472.000,00 (€ 3.587.969,60).
