Sebastiano Conca (Gaeta 1680-1764 Naples)
The Holy Family with Saint John the Baptist
oil on copper
12 3/8 x 9¼ in. (31.4 x 23.5 cm.)

Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Sebastiano Conca achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in December 2005. In the Old Master Pictures auction, the work The Holy Family with Saint John the Baptist sold for GBP 19,200.00 (€ 27,867.73) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 8,000.00. 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).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Sebastiano Conca erzielte im Dezember 2005 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master Pictures wurde die Arbeit The Holy Family with Saint John the Baptist für GBP 19.200,00 (€ 27.867,73) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 8.000,00. 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).
