Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Orpheus Charming The Animals by Francesco da Ponte was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in June 2007, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 45,000.00 (€ 33,284.02). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Francesco da Ponte - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait of a bearded gentleman, half-length, in a black doublet with a white collar, which sold at auction in June last year for USD 88,200.00 (€ 84,248.73).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Orpheus Charming The Animals von Francesco da Ponte im Juni 2007 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 50.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 45.000,00 (€ 33.284,02) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Francesco da Ponte mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait of a bearded gentleman, half-length, in a black doublet with a white collar beobachtet, die im Juni letzten Jahres für USD 88.200,00 (€ 84.248,73) versteigert wurde.
