Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2003 Christies in London held the auction Old Master Pictures and Drawings, which included the work Mercury carrying his caduceus looking up to the left by Francesco Bartolozzi. It changed hands for a price of GBP 1,175.00 (€ 1,664.23) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. Admittedly, works by Francesco Bartolozzi have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A Pair Of Drawings: Zepherus And Flora And Boreas And Oreithyia in January 2010 with an auction result of USD 13,750.00 (€ 9,913.48).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2003 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master Pictures and Drawings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Mercury carrying his caduceus looking up to the left von Francesco Bartolozzi zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 1.175,00 (€ 1.664,23) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Francesco Bartolozzi auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit A Pair Of Drawings: Zepherus And Flora And Boreas And Oreithyia im Januar 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 13.750,00 (€ 9.913,48).
