Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price

When the work Head of an Angel by Carlo Dolci was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2005, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 25,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 142,400.00 (€ 206,685.63). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Carlo Dolci; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Saint Agatha sold at auction in July 2018 with the realized price of GBP 248,750.00 (€ 278,903.45).

Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Head of an Angel von Carlo Dolci im Dezember 2005 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 25.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 142.400,00 (€ 206.685,63) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Carlo Dolci; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Saint Agatha im Juli 2018 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 248.750,00 (€ 278.903,45).
