Sold at the upper estimate price
In January 2013 Sothebys in New York held the auction Old Master Drawings, which included the work Caricature Of A Gentleman Holding A Tricorn Hat Under His Arm, And Wearing A Sword by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. The auction ended at the price of USD 15,000.00 (€ 11,042.40), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Madonna Of The Rosary With Angels in January 2020 with an auction result of USD 17,349,000.00 (€ 15,639,592.54).
Zuschlag beim oberen Schätzpreis
Im Januar 2013 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Old Master Drawings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Caricature Of A Gentleman Holding A Tricorn Hat Under His Arm, And Wearing A Sword von Giovanni Battista Tiepolo zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 15.000,00 (€ 11.042,40) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Giovanni Battista Tiepolo erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Madonna Of The Rosary With Angels im Januar 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 17.349.000,00 (€ 15.639.592,54).
