A top price for Sano di Pietro
When the work Madonna And Child; Saint John The Baptist; Saint Jerome: A Portable Triptych by Sano di Pietro was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 350,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 1,635,000.00 (€ 1,401,028.28). This high result makes Madonna And Child; Saint John The Baptist; Saint Jerome: A Portable Triptych the most expensive artwork by Sano di Pietro that we have observed at auctions so far.
