Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Head of a young man wearing a hat, in profile to the left by Annibale Carracci was auctioned at Christies in New York in January 2020. The price achieved of USD 37,500.00 (€ 33,805.10) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Annibale Carracci achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Madonna And Child With Saint Lucy And The Young Saint John The Baptist in May 2019 with an auction result of USD 6,063,500.00 (€ 5,438,604.36).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Head of a young man wearing a hat, in profile to the left von Annibale Carracci kam im Januar 2020 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 37.500,00 (€ 33.805,10) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Annibale Carracci erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Madonna And Child With Saint Lucy And The Young Saint John The Baptist im Mai 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 6.063.500,00 (€ 5.438.604,36).
