Upper estimate price exceeded by 92 %.
This artwork by Prospero Fontana achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in July 2007. In the Old Master Drawings auction, the work A: The Emperor Julian B: The Contest Between Reason And Passion sold for GBP 5,760.00 (€ 8,554.93) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 3,000.00. 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).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Prospero Fontana erzielte im Juli 2007 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master Drawings wurde die Arbeit A: The Emperor Julian B: The Contest Between Reason And Passion für GBP 5.760,00 (€ 8.554,93) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 3.000,00. 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).
