Upper estimate price exceeded by 33 %.
In July 2019 Christies in London held the auction Old Master and British Drawings and Watercolours Including Works from the Collection of Jean Bonna, which included the work A young warrior seated among pieces of armour and sculpture; Two prisoners seated among pieces of armour; and Fame seated among pieces of armour by Giulio Campi. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 10,625.00 (€ 11,665.54), 33% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Giulio Campi - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A young shepherd seated on a tree trunk, three dogs beside him, figures beyond and houses in the background, which sold at auction in January last year for USD 30,240.00 (€ 26,971.10).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 33 % übertroffen
Im Juli 2019 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master and British Drawings and Watercolours Including Works from the Collection of Jean Bonna durch, in der auch die Arbeit A young warrior seated among pieces of armour and sculpture; Two prisoners seated among pieces of armour; and Fame seated among pieces of armour von Giulio Campi zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 10.625,00 (€ 11.665,54) und damit 33% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Giulio Campi mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A young shepherd seated on a tree trunk, three dogs beside him, figures beyond and houses in the background beobachtet, die im Januar letzten Jahres für USD 30.240,00 (€ 26.971,10) versteigert wurde.
