Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Allegorical Figure holding a Sphere (Bartsch 34) by Giorgio Ghisi was auctioned at Christies in London in March 2007. The price achieved of GBP 1,800.00 (€ 2,649.39) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00.
