Auction result well in line with expectations
The work An Album Of Drawings In A Contemporary Limp Vellum Binding, With Two External Calf-Covered Sewing Guards On The Spine. Lower Cover With A Border Of Blind Fillets. The Album Was Sold As A Blank Book And Each Leaf Is Ruled To Form The Writing Area. There Ar by Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2016. The price achieved of GBP 93,750.00 (€ 111,395.28) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 80,000.00 – 120,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Pagan Sacrifice in July 2000 with an auction result of GBP 971,750.00 (€ 1,571,306.96).
