The work Christ on the Mount of Olives, from: The Passion by Lucas Cranach I was sold in the Old Master Prints auction at Christies in New York in January 2019. It achieved a price of USD 10,000.00 (€ 8,730.57), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 25%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Lucas Cranach I achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Bocca Della Verità (The Mouth Of Truth) in July 2015 with an auction result of GBP 9,333,000.00 (€ 13,231,059.30).

Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 10.000,00 (€ 8.730,57) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 25%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Lucas Cranach I erzielen.
