Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2015 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master & British Drawings, which included the work Portrait Of A Youth In A Dark Doublet And Ruff by Ottavio Maria Leoni. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 10,625.00 (€ 15,062.68) could thus just exceed the lower 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2015 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Master & British Drawings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait Of A Youth In A Dark Doublet And Ruff von Ottavio Maria Leoni zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 10.625,00 (€ 15.062,68) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. 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).
