Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in January 2019. In the Old Master & British Drawings auction, the work A river landscape with a fisherman near a castle (recto); Calligraphic exercises (verso) sold for USD 42,500.00 (€ 37,104.94) - well above the upper estimate of USD 20,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Christ the Man of Sorrows in December 2005 with an auction result of GBP 2,472,000.00 (€ 3,587,969.60).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Bartolomé Esteban Murillo erzielte im Januar 2019 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master & British Drawings wurde die Arbeit A river landscape with a fisherman near a castle (recto); Calligraphic exercises (verso) für USD 42.500,00 (€ 37.104,94) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 20.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Bartolomé Esteban Murillo erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Christ the Man of Sorrows im Dezember 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 2.472.000,00 (€ 3.587.969,60).
