Upper estimate price exceeded by 67 %.
The work Narcissus Gazing At His Reflection by Dirck van Baburen was sold in the Master Paintings & 19th Century European Art auction at Sothebys in New York in January 2016. It achieved a price of USD 75,000.00 (€ 69,239.29), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 67%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Dirck van Baburen achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Opfergabe an Ceres. Um 1621. in September last year with an auction result of CHF 1,408,300.00 (€ 1,462,138.72).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 67 % übertroffen
