Upper estimate price exceeded by 40 %.
The work In The Heat of Battle by Fortunino Matania was sold in the British and Continental Watercolours auction at Christies in London in November 2006. It achieved a price of GBP 840.00 (€ 1,247.43), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 40%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Fortunino Matania achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Complete Set of Illustrations For The Tinker'S Wig in June 2005 with an auction result of GBP 11,760.00 (€ 17,429.06).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 40 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit In The Heat of Battle von Fortunino Matania wurde im November 2006 in der Auktion British and Continental Watercolours bei Christies in London versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 840,00 (€ 1.247,43) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 40%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Fortunino Matania erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Complete Set of Illustrations For The Tinker'S Wig im Juni 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 11.760,00 (€ 17.429,06).
