Upper estimate price exceeded by 68 %.
The work A Study Of A Seated Woman Seen From Below, And Another Study Of Her Head by Paolo Caliari was sold in the Master Drawings from a Distinguished European Collection auction at Sothebys in London in July 2010. It achieved a price of GBP 67,250.00 (€ 80,860.55), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 68%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Paolo Caliari achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Allegory of The City of Venice Adoring The Madonna And Child in April 2008 with an auction result of USD 2,505,000.00 (€ 1,609,069.89).
