The work Spanish first Communion by Luis Alvarez Catalá was sold in the Fine Old Master & 19th Century European Art auction at Sothebys in New York in February 2018. The result of USD 20,000.00 (€ 16,378.67) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00.

Die Arbeit Spanish first Communion von Luis Alvarez Catalá wurde im Februar 2018 in der Auktion Fine Old Master & 19th Century European Art bei Sothebys in New York versteigert.
