Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2012 Sothebys in London held the auction Including Three Renaissance Masterworks from Chatsworth, which included the work Saint Martin Dividing His Cloak by Joseph Heintz the Elder. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 70,000.00 – 90,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 73,250.00 (€ 90,337.59) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Joseph Heintz the Elder have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Diana And Callisto in July 2015 with an auction result of GBP 485,000.00 (€ 687,567.10).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2012 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Including Three Renaissance Masterworks from Chatsworth durch, in der auch die Arbeit Saint Martin Dividing His Cloak von Joseph Heintz the Elder zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 70.000,00 – 90.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 73.250,00 (€ 90.337,59) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Joseph Heintz the Elder auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Diana And Callisto im Juli 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 485.000,00 (€ 687.567,10).
