Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2010 Christies in London held the auction Old Master, 19th Century & British Drawings & Watercolours, which included the work Cupid and Hymen accompanied by amorini by Andrea Appiani. The price achieved of GBP 1,250.00 (€ 1,450.00) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Andrea Appiani achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821), as First Consul, three-quarter-length, holding a sabre in June 2004 with an auction result of USD 769,100.00 (€ 631,496.84).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2010 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master, 19th Century & British Drawings & Watercolours durch, in der auch die Arbeit Cupid and Hymen accompanied by amorini von Andrea Appiani zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.250,00 (€ 1.450,00) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Andrea Appiani erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821), as First Consul, three-quarter-length, holding a sabre im Juni 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 769.100,00 (€ 631.496,84).
