Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Bay of Naples by Sebastian Pether was sold in the Master Paintings Part II auction at Sothebys in New York in January 2021. It changed hands for a price of USD 8,820.00 (€ 7,268.23) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 7,000.00 – 9,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Sebastian Pether - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Vesuvius erupting by moonlight, which sold at auction in July last year for GBP 20,400.00 (€ 24,361.22).
