Upper estimate price exceeded by 63 %.
In May 2016 Sothebys in New York held the auction Master Paintings, which included the work David With The Head Of Goliath by Valentin de Boulogne. The »bidding war« ended at USD 490,000.00 (€ 440,053.88), 63% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Valentin de Boulogne achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Crowning With Thorns in January 2016 with an auction result of USD 5,178,000.00 (€ 4,780,280.65).

Im Mai 2016 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Master Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit David With The Head Of Goliath von Valentin de Boulogne zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 490.000,00 (€ 440.053,88) und damit 63% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Valentin de Boulogne erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Crowning With Thorns im Januar 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 5.178.000,00 (€ 4.780.280,65).
