Upper estimate price exceeded by 32 %.
The work Judith by Francesco Mazzola was sold in the Old Master Prints auction at Christies in London in December 2019. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 2,375.00 (€ 2,806.97), 32% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Francesco Mazzola achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of A Bearded Man, Bust-Length, In A Black Hat, Wearing A Gold Chain With A Ring in July 2006 with an auction result of GBP 792,000.00 (€ 1,159,395.17).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 32 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Judith von Francesco Mazzola wurde im Dezember 2019 in der Auktion Old Master Prints bei Christies in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 2.375,00 (€ 2.806,97) und damit 32% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Francesco Mazzola erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of A Bearded Man, Bust-Length, In A Black Hat, Wearing A Gold Chain With A Ring im Juli 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 792.000,00 (€ 1.159.395,17).
