Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Anton Raphael Mengs achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in January 2014. In the The Courts of Europe auction, the work Don Luis Jaime Antonio De Borbòn Y Farnesio, Infante Of Spain (1727-1785) sold for USD 353,000.00 (€ 261,481.48) - well above the upper estimate of USD 150,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Anton Raphael Mengs - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait of Friedrich Christian, Prince of Saxony (1722-1763), three-quarter-length, in armour, with an ermine lined mantle and the sash and star of the Order of the White Eagle, which sold at auction in July last year for GBP 475,000.00 (€ 567,234.37).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Anton Raphael Mengs erzielte im Januar 2014 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion The Courts of Europe wurde die Arbeit Don Luis Jaime Antonio De Borbòn Y Farnesio, Infante Of Spain (1727-1785) für USD 353.000,00 (€ 261.481,48) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 150.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Anton Raphael Mengs mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait of Friedrich Christian, Prince of Saxony (1722-1763), three-quarter-length, in armour, with an ermine lined mantle and the sash and star of the Order of the White Eagle beobachtet, die im Juli letzten Jahres für GBP 475.000,00 (€ 567.234,37) versteigert wurde.
