Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Apollo with two river gods and a nymph, perhaps Daphne; and The Rape of Hippodamia by Michelangelo Maestri was sold in the Old Master & Early British Drawings & Watercolours auction at Christies in London in December 2012. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 3,500.00 (€ 4,316.47) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Michelangelo Maestri have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Personifications of eleven hours of the day and night in April 2000 with an auction result of GBP 16,450.00 (€ 28,161.73).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Apollo with two river gods and a nymph, perhaps Daphne; and The Rape of Hippodamia von Michelangelo Maestri wurde im Dezember 2012 in der Auktion Old Master & Early British Drawings & Watercolours bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 3.500,00 (€ 4.316,47) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Michelangelo Maestri auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Personifications of eleven hours of the day and night im April 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 16.450,00 (€ 28.161,73).
