Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Francesco Zuccarelli could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in January 2021 for an unexpectedly low price. In the From Taddeo to Tiepolo: The Dr. John O’Brien Collection of Old Master Drawings auction, the work Portrait of an Elderly Woman Holding a Cat changed hands for USD 5,670.00 (€ 4,672.44) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 6,000.00 – 8,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Francesco Zuccarelli achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Rape of Europa in May 2000 with an auction result of USD 171,000.00 (€ 183,319.04).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Francesco Zuccarelli konnte im Januar 2021 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion From Taddeo to Tiepolo: The Dr. John O’Brien Collection of Old Master Drawings wechselte die Arbeit Portrait of an Elderly Woman Holding a Cat für USD 5.670,00 (€ 4.672,44) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 6.000,00 – 8.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Francesco Zuccarelli erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Rape of Europa im Mai 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 171.000,00 (€ 183.319,04).
