Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

In January 2018 Christies in New York held the auction Old Master & British Drawings, which included the work Study of a sleeping man in a hat and cloak by Salvator Rosa. Here, the upper estimate of USD 4,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 4,375.00 (€ 3,520.28). 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 leicht übertroffen

Im Januar 2018 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Old Master & British Drawings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Study of a sleeping man in a hat and cloak von Salvator Rosa zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 4.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 4.375,00 (€ 3.520,28) einen neuen Besitzer. 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).
