Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2002 Christies in London held the auction Important Old Master Pictures, which included the work The Holy Family with the Infant Saint John the Baptist by Ippolito Scarsella. It changed hands for a price of GBP 33,460.00 (€ 53,370.00) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 25,000.00 – 35,000.00. Admittedly, works by Ippolito Scarsella have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Abduction Of Persephone in October 2020 with an auction result of USD 340,200.00 (€ 292,092.38).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2002 führte Christies in London die Auktion Important Old Master Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Holy Family with the Infant Saint John the Baptist von Ippolito Scarsella zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 33.460,00 (€ 53.370,00) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 25.000,00 – 35.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Ippolito Scarsella auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Abduction Of Persephone im Oktober 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 340.200,00 (€ 292.092,38).
