Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2019 Christies in London held the auction Old Master Prints, which included the work Portrait of Baccio Bandinelli by Nicolò della Casa. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 3,000 - 5,000, the actual price achieved of GBP 3,250 (€ 3,841) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Nicolò della Casa - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work , which sold at auction in December 2009 for EUR 8,540.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2019 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master Prints durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of Baccio Bandinelli von Nicolò della Casa zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 3.000 – 5.000 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 3.250 (€ 3.841) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Nicolò della Casa mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit beobachtet, die im Dezember 2009 für EUR 8.540 versteigert wurde.
