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.

Im Juli 2019 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Masters Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Castellamare; Taken From The New Road Leading To Sorrento, Italy von Thomas Christopher Hofland zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 35.000,00 (€ 38.427,67) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Castellamare; Taken From The New Road Leading To Sorrento, Italy das teuerste Kunstwerk von Thomas Christopher Hofland, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
