A top price for Barthel Beham
When the work Portrait Of Ludwig X, Duke Of Bavaria by Barthel Beham was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2016, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 80,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 317,000.00 (€ 376,664.58). This high result makes Portrait Of Ludwig X, Duke Of Bavaria the most expensive artwork by Barthel Beham that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Barthel Beham
Als die Arbeit Portrait Of Ludwig X, Duke Of Bavaria von Barthel Beham im Juli 2016 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 80.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 317.000,00 (€ 376.664,58) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Portrait Of Ludwig X, Duke Of Bavaria zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Barthel Beham, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
