The Master, Judd Tully, reports on the sale of this Cranach at TEFAF that would be very close to the record auction price for the Old Master if it sold for the dealer Bernheimer-Colnaghi’s $7.3m asking price:
The price only slightly trails the auction record for Lucas Cranach the Elder, which was set at Christie’s London in July 1990 when his 1509Portrait of Kurfust Herzog Johann “Der Bestandige” Von Sachsen sold for £4,840,000 ($8,627,450).
The actual sale price to a European collector was not disclosed.
