Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Francisco Vieira de Mattos could be acquired at Christies in London in December 2008 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Old Master & British Pictures & Old Master Drawings auction, the work The Virgin in clouds surrounded by putti, God blessing Adam in front of the animals below changed hands for GBP 350.00 (€ 367.60) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 400.00 – 600.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Francisco Vieira de Mattos achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Die Künste triumphieren über das Böse. in September 2020 with an auction result of CHF 8,750.00 (€ 8,126.49).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Francisco Vieira de Mattos konnte im Dezember 2008 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Old Master & British Pictures & Old Master Drawings wechselte die Arbeit The Virgin in clouds surrounded by putti, God blessing Adam in front of the animals below für GBP 350,00 (€ 367,60) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 400,00 – 600,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Francisco Vieira de Mattos erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Die Künste triumphieren über das Böse. im September 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von CHF 8.750,00 (€ 8.126,49).
