Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2007 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master Drawings, which included the work A Woman, With Her Hands Chained, Touching A Casket Held By A Soldier, A Classical Building In The Background by Giovanni David. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 5,000.00 – 7,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 5,400.00 (€ 8,020.25) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. 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 im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2007 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Master Drawings durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Woman, With Her Hands Chained, Touching A Casket Held By A Soldier, A Classical Building In The Background von Giovanni David zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 5.400,00 (€ 8.020,25) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. 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).
