Upper estimate price exceeded by 94 %.
This artwork by Carle van Loo achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in January 2016. In the Master Paintings & 19th Century European Art auction, the work Belisarius Begging At The Gates Of Rome sold for USD 17,500.00 (€ 16,155.83) - well above the upper estimate of USD 9,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Carle van Loo achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Venus requesting Vulcan to make arms for Aeneas in January 2000 with an auction result of USD 277,500.00 (€ 284,411.19).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Carle van Loo erzielte im Januar 2016 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Master Paintings & 19th Century European Art wurde die Arbeit Belisarius Begging At The Gates Of Rome für USD 17.500,00 (€ 16.155,83) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 9.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Carle van Loo erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Venus requesting Vulcan to make arms for Aeneas im Januar 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 277.500,00 (€ 284.411,19).
