Upper estimate price exceeded by 50 %.
The work Sleeping Child with Four Skulls by Barthel Beham was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2019. It achieved a price of GBP 1,500.00 (€ 1,772.82), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 50%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Barthel Beham achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait Of Ludwig X, Duke Of Bavaria in July 2016 with an auction result of GBP 317,000.00 (€ 376,664.58).

Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 1.500,00 (€ 1.772,82) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 50%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Barthel Beham erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait Of Ludwig X, Duke Of Bavaria im Juli 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 317.000,00 (€ 376.664,58).
