Upper estimate price exceeded by 72 %.

In April 2000 Christies in London held the auction Old Master Drawings at CSK, which included the work A cavalry skirmish by Francesco Allegrini. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 2,585.00 (€ 4,425.42), 72% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Francesco Allegrini - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Christ In Glory With Angels And A Saint Kneeling In Adoration, which sold at auction in January 2008 for USD 13,750.00 (€ 9,264.87).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 72 % übertroffen

Im April 2000 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master Drawings at CSK durch, in der auch die Arbeit A cavalry skirmish von Francesco Allegrini zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 2.585,00 (€ 4.425,42) und damit 72% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Francesco Allegrini mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Christ In Glory With Angels And A Saint Kneeling In Adoration beobachtet, die im Januar 2008 für USD 13.750,00 (€ 9.264,87) versteigert wurde.
