Auction result misses estimated price range

In December 2017 a collector was able to acquire the work Battling Tritons by Salvator Rosa for GBP 1,875.00 (€ 2,110.04). This price was achieved in the auction Old Master Prints at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Salvator Rosa achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of the artist, half-length, in a brown doublet in July 2010 with an auction result of GBP 769,250.00 (€ 924,936.45).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Im Dezember 2017 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Battling Tritons von Salvator Rosa für GBP 1.875,00 (€ 2.110,04) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Old Master Prints bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Salvator Rosa erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of the artist, half-length, in a brown doublet im Juli 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 769.250,00 (€ 924.936,45).
