Upper estimate price exceeded by 25 %.
The work Half-Length Portrait Of The Marchesa Di Grana by Ottavio Maria Leoni was sold in the The Jeffrey E. Horvitz Collection of Italian Drawings auction at Sothebys in New York in January 2008. The »bidding war« ended at USD 25,000.00 (€ 16,845.23), 25% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ottavio Maria Leoni achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait Of A Lady, Half-Length, Dressed In Pink in February 2013 with an auction result of USD 290,500.00 (€ 222,111.78).

Die Arbeit Half-Length Portrait Of The Marchesa Di Grana von Ottavio Maria Leoni wurde im Januar 2008 in der Auktion The Jeffrey E. Horvitz Collection of Italian Drawings bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 25.000,00 (€ 16.845,23) und damit 25% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ottavio Maria Leoni erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait Of A Lady, Half-Length, Dressed In Pink im Februar 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 290.500,00 (€ 222.111,78).
