Upper estimate price exceeded by 56 %.

In June 2017 Sothebys in London held the auction 19th Century European Paintings, which included the work Spanish the Storyteller by Ricardo Villegas y Cordero. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 18,750.00 (€ 21,352.75), 56% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Ricardo Villegas y Cordero have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Inspecting the Snaphaunce Guns, Tunis in July 2017 with an auction result of GBP 112,500.00 (€ 125,532.72).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 56 % übertroffen

Im Juni 2017 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion 19th Century European Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Spanish the Storyteller von Ricardo Villegas y Cordero zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 18.750,00 (€ 21.352,75) und damit 56% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Ricardo Villegas y Cordero auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Inspecting the Snaphaunce Guns, Tunis im Juli 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 112.500,00 (€ 125.532,72).
