A top price for Stefano della Bella
When the work A huntsman and two hounds overtaking a stag with a subsidiary study of a the huntsman's head (recto); A partial tracing of the composition (verso) by Stefano della Bella was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2000, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 12,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 56,400.00 (€ 91,198.06). This high result makes A huntsman and two hounds overtaking a stag with a subsidiary study of a the huntsman's head (recto); A partial tracing of the composition (verso) the most expensive artwork by Stefano della Bella that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Stefano della Bella
Als die Arbeit A huntsman and two hounds overtaking a stag with a subsidiary study of a the huntsman's head (recto); A partial tracing of the composition (verso) von Stefano della Bella im Juli 2000 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 12.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 56.400,00 (€ 91.198,06) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht A huntsman and two hounds overtaking a stag with a subsidiary study of a the huntsman's head (recto); A partial tracing of the composition (verso) zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Stefano della Bella, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
