Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2012 Sothebys in London held the auction Including Three Renaissance Masterworks from Chatsworth, which included the work A Nocturnal Scene With The Nativity And The Annunciation To The Shepherds Beyond by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo. The price achieved of GBP 481,250.00 (€ 593,514.90) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 400,000.00 – 600,000.00. Admittedly, works by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Christ the Man of Sorrows in December 2005 with an auction result of GBP 2,472,000.00 (€ 3,587,969.60).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2012 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Including Three Renaissance Masterworks from Chatsworth durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Nocturnal Scene With The Nativity And The Annunciation To The Shepherds Beyond von Bartolomé Esteban Murillo zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 481.250,00 (€ 593.514,90) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 400.000,00 – 600.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Bartolomé Esteban Murillo auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Christ the Man of Sorrows im Dezember 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 2.472.000,00 (€ 3.587.969,60).
