Upper estimate price exceeded by 25 %.
In December 2019 Christies in London held the auction Old Master Prints, which included the work La Grande Chasse by Jacques Callot. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 8,750.00 (€ 10,341.48), 25% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jacques Callot achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Fair At Gondreville, Or Mayday Celebrations At Xeuilley in July 2007 with an auction result of GBP 288,000.00 (€ 427,746.48).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 25 % übertroffen
Im Dezember 2019 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master Prints durch, in der auch die Arbeit La Grande Chasse von Jacques Callot zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 8.750,00 (€ 10.341,48) und damit 25% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jacques Callot erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Fair At Gondreville, Or Mayday Celebrations At Xeuilley im Juli 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 288.000,00 (€ 427.746,48).
