Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Four Men Moving a Boulder, Two Onlookers by Salvator Rosa was sold in the From Taddeo to Tiepolo: The Dr. John O’Brien Collection of Old Master Drawings auction at Sothebys in New York in January 2021. The price achieved of USD 13,860.00 (€ 11,421.51) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Salvator Rosa achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of the artist, half-length, in a brown doublet in July 2010 with an auction result of GBP 769,250.00 (€ 924,936.45).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Four Men Moving a Boulder, Two Onlookers von Salvator Rosa wurde im Januar 2021 in der Auktion From Taddeo to Tiepolo: The Dr. John O’Brien Collection of Old Master Drawings bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 13.860,00 (€ 11.421,51) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Salvator Rosa erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of the artist, half-length, in a brown doublet im Juli 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 769.250,00 (€ 924.936,45).
