Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A Canephoros In Profile To The Left by Francesco Mazzola was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2010. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 120,000.00 – 180,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 133,250.00 (€ 160,218.11) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Francesco Mazzola have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Portrait of A Bearded Man, Bust-Length, In A Black Hat, Wearing A Gold Chain With A Ring in July 2006 with an auction result of GBP 792,000.00 (€ 1,159,395.17).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit A Canephoros In Profile To The Left von Francesco Mazzola kam im Juli 2010 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 120.000,00 – 180.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 133.250,00 (€ 160.218,11) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Francesco Mazzola auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Portrait of A Bearded Man, Bust-Length, In A Black Hat, Wearing A Gold Chain With A Ring im Juli 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 792.000,00 (€ 1.159.395,17).
