Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait of Edward Solly, half length, in a blue coat and cream waistcoat, standing beside a table by Pompeo Batoni was auctioned at Bonhams in London in July last year. The price achieved of GBP 138,900.00 (€ 165,871.27) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 120,000.00 – 180,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Pompeo Batoni achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Susanna And The Elders in February 2013 with an auction result of USD 11,394,500.00 (€ 8,712,057.50).

Die Arbeit Portrait of Edward Solly, half length, in a blue coat and cream waistcoat, standing beside a table von Pompeo Batoni kam im Juli letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 138.900,00 (€ 165.871,27) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 120.000,00 – 180.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Pompeo Batoni erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Susanna And The Elders im Februar 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 11.394.500,00 (€ 8.712.057,50).
