Upper estimate price exceeded by 32 %.
The work A Fragment Of An Antique Altar: A Sphinx By A Garland, And An Eagle To The Right by Nicolas Poussin was sold in the Old Master Drawings auction at Sothebys in New York in January 2012. The »bidding war« ended at USD 59,375.00 (€ 45,487.63), 32% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Nicolas Poussin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Baptism Of Christ in December 2019 with an auction result of GBP 1,815,000.00 (€ 2,145,117.57).

Die Arbeit A Fragment Of An Antique Altar: A Sphinx By A Garland, And An Eagle To The Right von Nicolas Poussin wurde im Januar 2012 in der Auktion Old Master Drawings bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 59.375,00 (€ 45.487,63) und damit 32% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Nicolas Poussin erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Baptism Of Christ im Dezember 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.815.000,00 (€ 2.145.117,57).
