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
