This artwork by Giovanni Battista Piazzetta achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in January 2021. In the Old Master Drawings auction, the work Head of a man wearing a cap and a fur trimmed coat, seen in profile, looking to the left sold for USD 37,800.00 (€ 31,149.57) - well above the upper estimate of USD 20,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Giovanni Battista Piazzetta achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work David And Goliath in December 2010 with an auction result of GBP 409,250.00 (€ 474,728.77).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Giovanni Battista Piazzetta erzielte im Januar 2021 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master Drawings wurde die Arbeit Head of a man wearing a cap and a fur trimmed coat, seen in profile, looking to the left für USD 37.800,00 (€ 31.149,57) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 20.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Giovanni Battista Piazzetta erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit David And Goliath im Dezember 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 409.250,00 (€ 474.728,77).
