Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Recto: Study Of A Woman Verso: Study Of A Lion Lying On Its Back by Stefano della Bella was sold in the Old Master Day Sale including Old Master Paintings, Drawings and British Works on Paper auction at Sothebys in London in July 2020. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 700.00 – 900.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 750.00 (€ 836.57) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. 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
Die Arbeit Recto: Study Of A Woman Verso: Study Of A Lion Lying On Its Back von Stefano della Bella wurde im Juli 2020 in der Auktion Old Master Day Sale including Old Master Paintings, Drawings and British Works on Paper bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 700,00 – 900,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 750,00 (€ 836,57) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. 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).
