Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work A Sacrifice To Pan by Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione was sold in the Old Master Drawings auction at Sothebys in New York in January 2015. It achieved a price of USD 9,375.00 (€ 8,303.81), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 17%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Pagan Sacrifice in July 2000 with an auction result of GBP 971,750.00 (€ 1,571,306.96).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit A Sacrifice To Pan von Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione wurde im Januar 2015 in der Auktion Old Master Drawings bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 9.375,00 (€ 8.303,81) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 17%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Pagan Sacrifice im Juli 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 971.750,00 (€ 1.571.306,96).
