Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by S. Maresca could be acquired at Christies in London in February 2003 for an unexpectedly low price. In the British and Continental Pictures and Works on Paper auction, the work An Italian peasant smoking a pipe; and The old peasant woman changed hands for GBP 235.00 (€ 343.09) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 400.00 – 600.00. Admittedly, works by S. Maresca have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A tune in the tavern; and A fine vintage in November 2006 with an auction result of GBP 1,800.00 (€ 2,673.06).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von S. Maresca konnte im Februar 2003 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion British and Continental Pictures and Works on Paper wechselte die Arbeit An Italian peasant smoking a pipe; and The old peasant woman für GBP 235,00 (€ 343,09) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 400,00 – 600,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von S. Maresca auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit A tune in the tavern; and A fine vintage im November 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.800,00 (€ 2.673,06).
