Upper estimate price exceeded by 100 %.
This artwork by Stefano Magnasco achieved an unexpectedly high price at Il Ponte in April 2021. In the Furniture and Old Master Paintings auction, the work The Adoration of the Magi sold for EUR 20,000.00 - well above the upper estimate of EUR 10,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Stefano Magnasco - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work An Allegory Of The Arts; An Allegory Of Music, which sold at auction in December 2012 for GBP 51,650.00 (€ 63,698.79).
