Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Christ And The Woman Taken In Adultery by Mattia Preti was sold in the Old Master and British Paintings Evening Sale auction at Sothebys in London in December 2011. The price achieved of GBP 97,250.00 (€ 116,470.61) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 80,000.00 – 120,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Mattia Preti achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work David Playing The Harp Before Saul in January 2008 with an auction result of USD 2,169,000.00 (€ 1,461,491.81).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Christ And The Woman Taken In Adultery von Mattia Preti wurde im Dezember 2011 in der Auktion Old Master and British Paintings Evening Sale bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 97.250,00 (€ 116.470,61) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 80.000,00 – 120.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Mattia Preti erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit David Playing The Harp Before Saul im Januar 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.169.000,00 (€ 1.461.491,81).
