Auction result misses estimated price range

In January 2017 a collector was able to acquire the work The Mystic Marriage Of Saint Catherine Of Alexandria by Francisco de Zurbarán for USD 1,452,500.00 (€ 1,345,654.99). This price was achieved in the auction Master Paintings & Sculpture Evening Sale at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 1,500,000.00 – 2,000,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Francisco de Zurbarán - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Saint Dorothy, Full-Length, Holding A Basket Of Apples And Roses, which sold at auction in January 2010 for USD 4,226,500.00 (€ 3,047,224.22).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Im Januar 2017 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit The Mystic Marriage Of Saint Catherine Of Alexandria von Francisco de Zurbarán für USD 1.452.500,00 (€ 1.345.654,99) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Master Paintings & Sculpture Evening Sale bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 1.500.000,00 – 2.000.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Francisco de Zurbarán mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Saint Dorothy, Full-Length, Holding A Basket Of Apples And Roses beobachtet, die im Januar 2010 für USD 4.226.500,00 (€ 3.047.224,22) versteigert wurde.
