This artwork by Antonio Joli achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in December 2019. In the Old Masters Day Sale auction, the work A Capriccio View Of A Classical Portico With Alexander The Great Before The Tomb Of Achilles sold for GBP 62,500.00 (€ 73,867.69) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 35,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Antonio Joli achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Capriccio With The French Ambassador Approaching The King Of Siam’S Palace In A State Barge, In October 1685, Featuring The White Porcelain Pagoda, From Nanjing, China, On The Left in October last year with an auction result of USD 3,300,000.00 (€ 3,321,924.70).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 79 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Antonio Joli erzielte im Dezember 2019 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Masters Day Sale wurde die Arbeit A Capriccio View Of A Classical Portico With Alexander The Great Before The Tomb Of Achilles für GBP 62.500,00 (€ 73.867,69) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 35.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Antonio Joli erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Capriccio With The French Ambassador Approaching The King Of Siam’S Palace In A State Barge, In October 1685, Featuring The White Porcelain Pagoda, From Nanjing, China, On The Left im Oktober letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 3.300.000,00 (€ 3.321.924,70).
