Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Giovanni Battista Franco could be acquired at Christies in New York in January 2003 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Old Master & 19th Century Drawings including Works on Paper auction, the work A sheet of studies with Christ healing the Blind Man and a putto playing with a kite (recto); Studies for a Drunkenness of Noah and a Holy Family with Saint Anne and the Infant Baptist (verso) changed hands for USD 11,950.00 (€ 11,127.67) - missing the lower end of the es Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Giovanni Battista Franco achieve.

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Giovanni Battista Franco konnte im Januar 2003 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Old Master & 19th Century Drawings including Works on Paper wechselte die Arbeit A sheet of studies with Christ healing the Blind Man and a putto playing with a kite (recto); Studies for a Drunkenness of Noah and a Holy Family with Saint Anne and the Infant Baptist (verso) für USD 11.950,00 (€ 11.127,67) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Giovanni Battista Franco erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Deux Études De Squelettes im März 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 250.000,00.
