Upper estimate price exceeded by 72 %.

The work Four men throwing dice by Salvator Rosa was auctioned at Christies in New York in January last year. It achieved a price of USD 6,875.00 (€ 6,131.82), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 72%. 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).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 72 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit Four men throwing dice von Salvator Rosa kam im Januar letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 6.875,00 (€ 6.131,82) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 72%. 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).
