Auction result well in line with expectations

The work The Entombment of Christ by Doménikos Theotokópoulos was sold in the Old Masters Part I auction at Christies in London in July this year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 6,000,000.00 – 8,000,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 6,290,000.00 (€ 7,338,523.59) could thus just exceed the lower estimate.
