A top price for Thomas Christopher Hofland - as previously expected
In July 2019 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Masters Day Sale, which included the work Castellamare; Taken From The New Road Leading To Sorrento, Italy by Thomas Christopher Hofland. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 30,000.00 – 50,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 35,000.00 (€ 38,427.67) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Castellamare; Taken From The New Road Leading To Sorrento, Italy is the most expensive artwork by Thomas Christopher Hofland that we have observed at auctions so far.
