Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2018 Christies in London held the auction Old Masters/New Scholars: Works of Art Sold to Benefit Rugby School, which included the work The Rest on the Flight into Egypt with Saint Anthony Abbot by Lelio Orsi. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 150,000.00 – 250,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 162,500.00 (€ 181,039.41) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Lelio Orsi have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Leda And The Swan in January 2008 with an auction result of USD 1,497,000.00 (€ 1,008,692.14).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2018 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Masters/New Scholars: Works of Art Sold to Benefit Rugby School durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Rest on the Flight into Egypt with Saint Anthony Abbot von Lelio Orsi zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 150.000,00 – 250.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 162.500,00 (€ 181.039,41) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Lelio Orsi auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Leda And The Swan im Januar 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.497.000,00 (€ 1.008.692,14).
