Auction result misses estimated price range

In July 2007 a collector was able to acquire the work A Classical Scene With A Vestal Virgin Making An Offering On A Sarcophagus by Giovanni David for GBP 5,400.00 (€ 8,020.25). This price was achieved in the auction Old Master Drawings at Sothebys in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 6,000.00 – 8,000.00 set by the auction house. Admittedly, works by Giovanni David have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A Nightmare in July 2018 with an auction result of GBP 43,750.00 (€ 49,053.37).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Im Juli 2007 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit A Classical Scene With A Vestal Virgin Making An Offering On A Sarcophagus von Giovanni David für GBP 5.400,00 (€ 8.020,25) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Old Master Drawings bei Sothebys in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 6.000,00 – 8.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Giovanni David auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit A Nightmare im Juli 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 43.750,00 (€ 49.053,37).
