Auction result well in line with expectations

In December 2020 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master and British Works on Paper, including Portrait Miniatures from the Pohl-Ströher Collection, which included the work Five leaves of figure Studies from an album, including figures on horseback and gentlemen greeting each another by Stefano della Bella. The price achieved of GBP 1,134.00 (€ 1,266.78) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Stefano della Bella achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by 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) in July 2000 with an auction result of GBP 56,400.00 (€ 91,198.06).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Dezember 2020 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Master and British Works on Paper, including Portrait Miniatures from the Pohl-Ströher Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit Five leaves of figure Studies from an album, including figures on horseback and gentlemen greeting each another von Stefano della Bella zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.134,00 (€ 1.266,78) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Stefano della Bella erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte 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) im Juli 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 56.400,00 (€ 91.198,06).
