A top price for Giovanni Battista Lenardi - as previously expected
The work The Assumption Of The Virgin With Saints Anne And Nicholas Of Myra by Giovanni Battista Lenardi was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2012. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 60,000.00 – 80,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 62,500.00 (€ 47,881.71) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The Assumption Of The Virgin With Saints Anne And Nicholas Of Myra is the most expensive artwork by Giovanni Battista Lenardi that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 60.000,00 – 80.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 62.500,00 (€ 47.881,71) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The Assumption Of The Virgin With Saints Anne And Nicholas Of Myra das teuerste Kunstwerk von Giovanni Battista Lenardi, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
