Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Donato Creti achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in March 2017. In the Two Great Scottish Collections: Property from the Forbeses of Pitsligo and the Marquesses of Lothian auction, the work Eleven Studies Mounted Over Two Large Album Pages: Including Various Head Studies, Winged Putti, A Mother And Child Grouping And Gargoyles sold for GBP 3,250.00 (€ 3,808.68) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Donato Creti achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Sibyl in February 2018 with an auction result of USD 1,095,000.00 (€ 896,732.45).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Donato Creti erzielte im März 2017 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis.

Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Donato Creti erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Sibyl im Februar 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.095.000,00 (€ 896.732,45).
