Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Peter Paul Rubens achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in January 2017. In the Old Master Drawings auction, the work Scipio Africanus welcomed outside the gates of Rome, after Giulio Romano sold for USD 1,567,500.00 (€ 1,452,195.66) - well above the upper estimate of USD 700,000.00. 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 2017 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master Drawings wurde die Arbeit Scipio Africanus welcomed outside the gates of Rome, after Giulio Romano für USD 1.567.500,00 (€ 1.452.195,66) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 700.000,00. 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).
