A top price for Carlo Dolci - as previously expected

The work Saint Agatha by Carlo Dolci was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2018. It changed hands for a price of GBP 248,750.00 (€ 278,903.45) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 150,000.00 – 250,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Saint Agatha is the most expensive artwork by Carlo Dolci that we have observed at auctions so far.
