Auction result well in line with expectations
In January 2014 Sothebys in New York held the auction Old Master Paintings, which included the work A Nocturnal Mediterranean Coastal Scene, With Vesuvius In The Background by Pierre-Jacques Volaire. The price achieved of USD 185,000.00 (€ 137,037.04) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 150,000.00 – 200,000.00.
