This artwork by Luigi Sabatelli achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in December 2011. In the Old Master & Early British Drawings & Watercolours auction, the work Time overcoming an allegorical figure, perhaps Ignorance, with a subsidiary study of a head in profile sold for GBP 1,500.00 (€ 1,796.46) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 800.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Luigi Sabatelli achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Armida and the sleeping Rinaldo on a chariot drawn by dragons and escorted by putti in July 2017 with an auction result of GBP 60,000.00 (€ 66,950.79).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 88 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Luigi Sabatelli erzielte im Dezember 2011 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master & Early British Drawings & Watercolours wurde die Arbeit Time overcoming an allegorical figure, perhaps Ignorance, with a subsidiary study of a head in profile für GBP 1.500,00 (€ 1.796,46) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 800,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Luigi Sabatelli erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Armida and the sleeping Rinaldo on a chariot drawn by dragons and escorted by putti im Juli 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 60.000,00 (€ 66.950,79).
