Pancrace Bessa

A canary perched on the branch of a pink rose, carrying harebells in its beak
Watercolor and touches of gouache over traces of pencil, within gold framing lines, on vellum;

224 by 304 mm; 8 3/4 by 12 in
Sale, New York, Christie's, 25 January 2005, lot 152

Upper estimate price exceeded by 68 %.

The work A canary perched on the branch of a pink rose, carrying harebells in its beak by Pancrace Bessa was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2021. It achieved a price of USD 5,040.00 (€ 4,153.28), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 68%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Pancrace Bessa achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Corbeille De Fruits Et Fleurs Sur Un Entablement De Pierre Sur Lequel Repose Une Tourterelle in November 2016 with an auction result of EUR 43,750.00.

Oberer Schätzpreis um 68 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit A canary perched on the branch of a pink rose, carrying harebells in its beak von Pancrace Bessa kam im Januar 2021 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 5.040,00 (€ 4.153,28) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 68%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Pancrace Bessa erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Corbeille De Fruits Et Fleurs Sur Un Entablement De Pierre Sur Lequel Repose Une Tourterelle im November 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 43.750,00.
