In July 2019 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Masters Evening Sale, which included the work Arcas And Callisto by Sebastiano Ricci. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 507,000.00 (€ 556,652.29), 69% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Sebastiano Ricci - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Time revealing Truth, which sold at auction in April 2007 for USD 2,448,000.00 (€ 1,792,093.70).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 69 % übertroffen
