Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait of a lady as Flora, half-length, holding a wicker basket of flowers by Pompeo Batoni was auctioned at Christies in New York in October 2018. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 400,000.00 – 600,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 432,500.00 (€ 381,662.55) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Pompeo Batoni achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Susanna And The Elders in February 2013 with an auction result of USD 11,394,500.00 (€ 8,712,057.50).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Portrait of a lady as Flora, half-length, holding a wicker basket of flowers von Pompeo Batoni kam im Oktober 2018 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 400.000,00 – 600.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 432.500,00 (€ 381.662,55) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Pompeo Batoni erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Susanna And The Elders im Februar 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 11.394.500,00 (€ 8.712.057,50).
