Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Portrait of a gentleman, possibly of the Strozzi family, full-length, in black doublet, mantle and pantaloons, wearing a sword, his hat on the carpet-draped table beside, with a draped curtain and a lap-dog by Jacopo da Empoli was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2009, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 60,000.00 – 80,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, th However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jacopo da Empoli - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Study Of A Boy, which sold at auction in July 2018 for GBP 47,500.00 (€ 53,257.94).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Portrait of a gentleman, possibly of the Strozzi family, full-length, in black doublet, mantle and pantaloons, wearing a sword, his hat on the carpet-draped table beside, with a draped curtain and a lap-dog von Jacopo da Empoli im Dezember 2009 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 60.000,00 – 80.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 12.500,00 (€ 14.100,44) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Jacopo da Empoli mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Study Of A Boy beobachtet, die im Juli 2018 für GBP 47.500,00 (€ 53.257,94) versteigert wurde.
