Auction result well in line with expectations
In January 2021 Sothebys in New York held the auction Old Master Drawings, which included the work Three camels and their driver, a pyramid in the distance by Stefano della Bella. The price achieved of USD 3,780.00 (€ 3,114.96) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. 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 Januar 2021 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Old Master Drawings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Three camels and their driver, a pyramid in the distance von Stefano della Bella zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 3.780,00 (€ 3.114,96) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 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).
