Description
CARRACCI, Agostino (1557-1602).
Scuola perfetta per imparara a disegnare tutto il corpo humano
(Bartsch 3, 7, 12-13, 16-18, 23, 26-28, 31-32, 35-42, 45, 49-51, 54-55, 58, 60, 64, 65-73, 75-76, 79-80)
the book comprising 48 etchings and engravings including title, published in Rome, circa 1700, the plates numbered 1-48 in a contemporary hand, on laid paper, with occasional minor worm holes, spotting and pale staining, otherwise in good condition, bound in contemporary vellum over paper boards.

Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Scuola perfetta per imparara a disegnare tutto il corpo humano by Agostino Carracci was sold in the The Collection of Arthur & Charlotte Vershbow Part Three: The Baroque and Rococo Periods auction at Christies in New York in June 2013. The price achieved of USD 5,000.00 (€ 3,843.20) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Agostino Carracci achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait Of Olimpia Luna As Judith And Melchiorre Zoppio As Holofernes in January 2014 with an auction result of USD 869,000.00 (€ 643,703.70).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Scuola perfetta per imparara a disegnare tutto il corpo humano von Agostino Carracci wurde im Juni 2013 in der Auktion The Collection of Arthur & Charlotte Vershbow Part Three: The Baroque and Rococo Periods bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 5.000,00 (€ 3.843,20) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Agostino Carracci erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait Of Olimpia Luna As Judith And Melchiorre Zoppio As Holofernes im Januar 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 869.000,00 (€ 643.703,70).
