Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Saint Cecilia, Seated At An Organ, With Putti And An Angel by Sebastiano Conca was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2016. The price achieved of GBP 25,000.00 (€ 29,705.41) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Sebastiano Conca achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of George Parker, 2nd Earl of Macclesfield, PRS, three-quarter-length, standing in front of the Colosseum, right hand resting on a map of Italy, a statue of the Apollo Belvedere on a giltwood and marble table in December last year with an auction result of GBP 378,000.00 (€ 426,725.18).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Saint Cecilia, Seated At An Organ, With Putti And An Angel von Sebastiano Conca kam im Juli 2016 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 25.000,00 (€ 29.705,41) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Sebastiano Conca erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of George Parker, 2nd Earl of Macclesfield, PRS, three-quarter-length, standing in front of the Colosseum, right hand resting on a map of Italy, a statue of the Apollo Belvedere on a giltwood and marble table im Dezember letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 378.000,00 (€ 426.725,18).
