In December 2016 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Masters Evening Sale, which included the work The Madonna by Giovanni Battista Salvi. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 82,500.00 (€ 96,455.89), 38% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Giovanni Battista Salvi have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Madonna and Child embracing in an interior, a landscape with Saint Joseph beyond in July 2012 with an auction result of GBP 433,250.00 (€ 551,844.05).

Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 82.500,00 (€ 96.455,89) und damit 38% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Giovanni Battista Salvi auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Madonna and Child embracing in an interior, a landscape with Saint Joseph beyond im Juli 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 433.250,00 (€ 551.844,05).
