Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Giovanni Battista Pittoni achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in January 2017. In the Master Paintings & Sculpture Day Sale auction, the work The Sacrifice Of Polyxena sold for USD 50,000.00 (€ 46,322.03) - well above the upper estimate of USD 20,000.00. Admittedly, works by Giovanni Battista Pittoni have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved 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
