Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work A seated figure playing the bagpipes, with an army in the background by Prospero Fontana was auctioned at Christies in London in April 2000. It achieved a price of GBP 998.75 (€ 1,709.82), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 25%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Prospero Fontana achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Holy Family With Saints John The Baptist And Catherine in December 2013 with an auction result of GBP 80,500.00 (€ 96,829.02).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 998,75 (€ 1.709,82) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 25%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Prospero Fontana erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Holy Family With Saints John The Baptist And Catherine im Dezember 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 80.500,00 (€ 96.829,02).
