Auction result well in line with expectations

The work The Virgin Introducing Various Saints To The Trinity by Sebastiano Conca was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2013. The price achieved of GBP 6,250.00 (€ 7,141.71) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. 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 The Virgin Introducing Various Saints To The Trinity von Sebastiano Conca kam im Juli 2013 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 6.250,00 (€ 7.141,71) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 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).
