A top price for Johann Christian von Mannlich
When the work Portrait of a lady, traditionally identified as Pierina Gravaghi, bust-length, in a black dress and white lace bonnet by Johann Christian von Mannlich was auctioned at Christies in New York in January 2009, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 3,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than seven times as high at USD 21,250.00 (€ 16,596.38). This high result makes Portrait of a lady, traditionally identified as Pierina Gravaghi, bust-length, in a black dress and white lace bonnet the most expensive artwork by Johann Christian von Mannlich that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Johann Christian von Mannlich
Als die Arbeit Portrait of a lady, traditionally identified as Pierina Gravaghi, bust-length, in a black dress and white lace bonnet von Johann Christian von Mannlich im Januar 2009 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 3.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 21.250,00 (€ 16.596,38) mehr als siebenmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Portrait of a lady, traditionally identified as Pierina Gravaghi, bust-length, in a black dress and white lace bonnet zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Johann Christian von Mannlich, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
