Upper estimate price exceeded by 64 %.
The work Julius Caesar by Peter Paul Rubens was sold in the Important Old Master Paintings and European Works of Art auction at Sothebys in New York in January 2007. The »bidding war« ended at USD 656,000.00 (€ 504,693.03), 64% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Peter Paul Rubens achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Lot and his Daughters in July 2016 with an auction result of GBP 44,882,500.00 (€ 53,330,119.54).

Die Arbeit Julius Caesar von Peter Paul Rubens wurde im Januar 2007 in der Auktion Important Old Master Paintings and European Works of Art bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 656.000,00 (€ 504.693,03) und damit 64% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Peter Paul Rubens erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Lot and his Daughters im Juli 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 44.882.500,00 (€ 53.330.119,54).
