Upper estimate price exceeded by 31 %.

The work The Young Saint John the Baptist praying in a landscape by Filippino Lippi was sold in the Old Master Paintings auction at Christies in New York in June 2012. It achieved a price of USD 104,500.00 (€ 82,491.32), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 31%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Filippino Lippi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Penitent Mary Magdalen adoring the True Cross in a rocky landscape in January 2005 with an auction result of USD 2,256,000.00 (€ 1,728,868.11).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 31 % übertroffen
