Giovanni Battista Pittoni

The Death of Agrippina

Found at Christies, New York
Old Master & British Drawings, Lot 45
30.Jan - 30.Jan.2018
Estimate: 2.000 - 3.000 USD
Price realised: 6.875 USD
with inscription 'Balestra' in ink (lower right)
black chalk, pen and brown ink, brown wash
5 ¼ x 7 in. (13.3 x 17.7 cm)

Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Giovanni Battista Pittoni achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in January 2018. In the Old Master & British Drawings auction, the work The Death of Agrippina sold for USD 6,875.00 (€ 5,531.86) - well above the upper estimate of USD 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Giovanni Battista Pittoni achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Achilles Among The Daughters Of Lycomedes in July 2019 with an auction result of GBP 250,000.00 (€ 274,483.38).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Giovanni Battista Pittoni erzielte im Januar 2018 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master & British Drawings wurde die Arbeit The Death of Agrippina für USD 6.875,00 (€ 5.531,86) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 3.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Giovanni Battista Pittoni erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Achilles Among The Daughters Of Lycomedes im Juli 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 250.000,00 (€ 274.483,38).
