Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Francesco Mazzola achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in January 2019. In the Old Master Prints auction, the work Saints Peter and John healing the Cripples at the Gate at the Temple sold for USD 13,750.00 (€ 12,004.54) - well above the upper estimate of USD 6,000.00. 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 mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Francesco Mazzola erzielte im Januar 2019 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master Prints wurde die Arbeit Saints Peter and John healing the Cripples at the Gate at the Temple für USD 13.750,00 (€ 12.004,54) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 6.000,00. 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).
