Upper estimate price exceeded by 38 %.
In January 2016 Sothebys in New York held the auction The Road to Rome: Property from a Distinguished Italian Private Collection, Part I, which included the work Portrait Of Prince Edward Augustus, Duke Of York And Albany (1739-1767) by Pompeo Batoni. The »bidding war« ended at USD 550,000.00 (€ 507,754.80), 38% above the upper 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).

Im Januar 2016 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion The Road to Rome: Property from a Distinguished Italian Private Collection, Part I durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait Of Prince Edward Augustus, Duke Of York And Albany (1739-1767) von Pompeo Batoni zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 550.000,00 (€ 507.754,80) und damit 38% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
