Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Venus At The Forge Of Vulcan by Sebastiano Conca was worth GBP 133,250.00 (€ 169,724.69) to a buyer in July 2012. This price was achieved in the auction Old Master & British Drawings Sale at Sothebys in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 40,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Sebastiano Conca - we have observed the highest auction result to date for 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, which sold at auction in December last year for GBP 378,000.00 (€ 426,725.18).
