Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Pompeo Batoni achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in December 2014. In the Old Master & British Pictures Evening Sale auction, the work Portrait Of George Craster (1734-1772), Half-Length, In The Gold-Frogged, Red And Blue Uniform Of The Horse Grenadier Guards, Holding A Tricorn sold for GBP 344,500.00 (€ 443,485.74) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 150,000.00. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Pompeo Batoni erzielte im Dezember 2014 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master & British Pictures Evening Sale wurde die Arbeit Portrait Of George Craster (1734-1772), Half-Length, In The Gold-Frogged, Red And Blue Uniform Of The Horse Grenadier Guards, Holding A Tricorn für GBP 344.500,00 (€ 443.485,74) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 150.000,00. 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).
