Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Martyrdom of Saint Ursula by Pier Francesco Mazzucchelli was auctioned at Il Ponte in October 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at - in retrospect quite modest - EUR 8,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at EUR 25,000.00. Admittedly, works by Pier Francesco Mazzucchelli have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Studies for Christ before Caiaphas in December 2020 with an auction result of GBP 100,000.00 (€ 111,708.91).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Martyrdom of Saint Ursula von Pier Francesco Mazzucchelli im Oktober 2018 bei Il Ponte versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – EUR 8.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit EUR 25.000,00 mehr als dreimal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Pier Francesco Mazzucchelli auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Studies for Christ before Caiaphas im Dezember 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 100.000,00 (€ 111.708,91).
