Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Italian The Centre Of Attention by Giovanni Battista Torriglia was sold in the 19th Century European Paintings auction at Sothebys in London in May 2018. The price achieved of GBP 23,750.00 (€ 27,044.88) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Giovanni Battista Torriglia achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Italian The Thread Of Life in November 2007 with an auction result of GBP 228,500.00 (€ 319,959.12).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Italian The Centre Of Attention von Giovanni Battista Torriglia wurde im Mai 2018 in der Auktion 19th Century European Paintings bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 23.750,00 (€ 27.044,88) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Giovanni Battista Torriglia erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Italian The Thread Of Life im November 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 228.500,00 (€ 319.959,12).
