Upper estimate price exceeded by 67 %.
The work Achilles dragging the Body of Hector by Pietro Testa was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2019. It achieved a price of GBP 2,000.00 (€ 2,363.77), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 67%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Pietro Testa achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Aeneas On The Bank Of The River Styx in February 2013 with an auction result of USD 2,994,500.00 (€ 2,289,548.13).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 67 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Achilles dragging the Body of Hector von Pietro Testa kam im Dezember 2019 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 2.000,00 (€ 2.363,77) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 67%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Pietro Testa erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Aeneas On The Bank Of The River Styx im Februar 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.994.500,00 (€ 2.289.548,13).
