Upper estimate price exceeded by 58 %.
In July 2019 Sothebys in London held the auction Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite and British Impressionist Art, which included the work Sketch For Venus Verticordia by Dante Gabriel Rossetti. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 47,500.00 (€ 52,151.84), 58% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Dante Gabriel Rossetti achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Pandora in May 2014 with an auction result of GBP 5,346,500.00 (€ 6,571,020.97).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 58 % übertroffen
Im Juli 2019 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite and British Impressionist Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Sketch For Venus Verticordia von Dante Gabriel Rossetti zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 47.500,00 (€ 52.151,84) und damit 58% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Dante Gabriel Rossetti erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Pandora im Mai 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 5.346.500,00 (€ 6.571.020,97).
