Upper estimate price exceeded by 88 %.
This artwork by Peter Paul Rubens achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in January 2019. In the Old Master Prints auction, the work Saint Catherine sold for USD 9,375.00 (€ 8,184.91) - well above the upper estimate of USD 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Peter Paul Rubens achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Lot and his Daughters in July 2016 with an auction result of GBP 44,882,500.00 (€ 53,330,119.54).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Peter Paul Rubens erzielte im Januar 2019 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master Prints wurde die Arbeit Saint Catherine für USD 9.375,00 (€ 8.184,91) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 5.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Peter Paul Rubens erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Lot and his Daughters im Juli 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 44.882.500,00 (€ 53.330.119,54).
