Auction result misses estimated price range
In December 2015 a collector was able to acquire the work The Intercession Of Esther With King Ahasuerus And Haman by Pietro Paolini for GBP 56,250.00 (€ 76,384.80). This price was achieved in the auction Old Master & British Paintings Day Sale at Sothebys in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 60,000.00 – 80,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Pietro Paolini achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Cardsharps in April 2017 with an auction result of USD 1,147,500.00 (€ 1,053,235.43).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Dezember 2015 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit The Intercession Of Esther With King Ahasuerus And Haman von Pietro Paolini für GBP 56.250,00 (€ 76.384,80) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Old Master & British Paintings Day Sale bei Sothebys in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 60.000,00 – 80.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Pietro Paolini erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Cardsharps im April 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.147.500,00 (€ 1.053.235,43).
