A top price for Agostino Veneziano
When the work The Three Holy Women going to the Sepulchre by Agostino Veneziano was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 8,125.00 (€ 9,602.80). This high result makes The Three Holy Women going to the Sepulchre the most expensive artwork by Agostino Veneziano that we have observed at auctions so far.

Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 8.125,00 (€ 9.602,80) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht The Three Holy Women going to the Sepulchre zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Agostino Veneziano, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
