Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by William Parrot achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in October 2021. In the Master Paintings and Drawings auction, the work The Theatre of Marcellus, Rome, after Giovanni Battista Piranesi sold for USD 7,560.00 (€ 6,544.32) - well above the upper estimate of USD 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Parrot achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Fair In The Champs Elysee, Paris '(Grand Tintamarre) Voila, Voila, V'La, V'La Messieurs! Venez Voir, Venez Voir, Madlle. Rose, La Femme Colosse La Plus Êtonnante Du Monde Par La Suavité De Sa Voix, La Naiveté De Ses Traits, L'Epaisseur De Son in June 2001 with an auction result of GBP 124,750.00 (€ 207,234.
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von William Parrot erzielte im Oktober 2021 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Master Paintings and Drawings wurde die Arbeit The Theatre of Marcellus, Rome, after Giovanni Battista Piranesi für USD 7.560,00 (€ 6.544,32) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 3.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Parrot erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Fair In The Champs Elysee, Paris '(Grand Tintamarre) Voila, Voila, V'La, V'La Messieurs! Venez Voir, Venez Voir, Madlle. Rose, La Femme Colosse La Plus Êtonnante Du Monde Par La Suavité De Sa Voix, La Naiveté De Ses Traits, L'Epaisseur De Son im Juni 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 124.750,00 (€ 207.234,57).
