Upper estimate price exceeded by 85 %.
This artwork by Giovanni Lanfranco achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in July 2000. In the Old Master Drawings auction, the work An angel in adoration, with studies of the head of a child and a hand (recto); Saint Lucy and drapery studies (verso) sold for GBP 6,462.50 (€ 10,449.78) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 3,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Giovanni Lanfranco achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Execution of Saint John the Baptist in December 2019 with an auction result of GBP 137,500.00 (€ 162,508.91).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Giovanni Lanfranco erzielte im Juli 2000 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master Drawings wurde die Arbeit An angel in adoration, with studies of the head of a child and a hand (recto); Saint Lucy and drapery studies (verso) für GBP 6.462,50 (€ 10.449,78) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 3.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Giovanni Lanfranco erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Execution of Saint John the Baptist im Dezember 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 137.500,00 (€ 162.508,91).
