SIR JOHN BAPTIST MEDINA (Brussels 1659-1710 Edinburgh)
Portrait of a gentleman, bust-length, in armor
oil on canvas, painted as oval
29¾ x 24¾ in. (75.5 x 62.8 cm.)

Auction result misses estimated price range

In October 2001 a collector was able to acquire the work Portrait of a gentleman, bust-length, in armor by John Baptist Medina for USD 1,645.00 (€ 1,829.20). This price was achieved in the auction Old Master Paintings at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Baptist Medina - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Sir Hugh Cunningham of Bonnington, which sold at auction in October 2018 for GBP 4,500.00 (€ 5,074.61).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Im Oktober 2001 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Portrait of a gentleman, bust-length, in armor von John Baptist Medina für USD 1.645,00 (€ 1.829,20) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Old Master Paintings bei Christies in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von John Baptist Medina mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Sir Hugh Cunningham of Bonnington beobachtet, die im Oktober 2018 für GBP 4.500,00 (€ 5.074,61) versteigert wurde.
