Upper estimate price exceeded by 28 %.
The work Death and three nude Women by Hans Sebald Beham was sold in the Prints and Multiples auction at Bonhams in London in December 2021. It achieved a price of GBP 1,912.50 (€ 2,281.21), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 28%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Hans Sebald Beham achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Recto: A Putto Standing Beside A Flaming Urn Verso: Four Studies Of Men'S Heads in July 2007 with an auction result of GBP 48,000.00 (€ 71,291.08).

Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 1.912,50 (€ 2.281,21) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 28%.

Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Recto: A Putto Standing Beside A Flaming Urn Verso: Four Studies Of Men'S Heads im Juli 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 48.000,00 (€ 71.291,08).
