Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Portrait of S.A.R. La Principessa Reale Maria Beatrice di Savoia, Seated Half-Length, In A White Dress by Pedro Leitao was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2007, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 300.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 1,200.00 (€ 1,780.74). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Pedro Leitao - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Elsa Schiaparelli, which sold at auction in January 2014 for EUR 6,875.00.
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Portrait of S.A.R. La Principessa Reale Maria Beatrice di Savoia, Seated Half-Length, In A White Dress von Pedro Leitao im Juni 2007 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 300,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 1.200,00 (€ 1.780,74) mehr als viermal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Pedro Leitao mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Elsa Schiaparelli beobachtet, die im Januar 2014 für EUR 6.875,00 versteigert wurde.
