Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work The Martyrdom Of Saint Paul by Peter Paul Rubens was sold in the Old Master & British Paintings Evening Sale auction at Sothebys in London in December 2014. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 800,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 914,500.00 (€ 1,177,264.77). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Peter Paul Rubens achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Lot and his Daughters in July 2016 with an auction result of GBP 44,882,500.00 (€ 53,330,119.54).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit The Martyrdom Of Saint Paul von Peter Paul Rubens wurde im Dezember 2014 in der Auktion Old Master & British Paintings Evening Sale bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 800.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 914.500,00 (€ 1.177.264,77) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Peter Paul Rubens erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Lot and his Daughters im Juli 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 44.882.500,00 (€ 53.330.119,54).
