Francesco Furini (Florence 1603-1646)
Esther before Ahasuerus

red chalk, red wash, pen and brown ink, pen and brown ink framing lines
5 3/8 x 7½ in. (13.6 x 19 cm.)

Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Esther before Ahasuerus by Francesco Furini was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2009. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 6,000.00 – 8,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 6,250.00 (€ 7,091.88) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Francesco Furini achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Abigail Before David in January 2008 with an auction result of USD 959,400.00 (€ 646,452.40).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Esther before Ahasuerus von Francesco Furini kam im Juli 2009 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 6.000,00 – 8.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 6.250,00 (€ 7.091,88) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Francesco Furini erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Abigail Before David im Januar 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 959.400,00 (€ 646.452,40).
