Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work Minerva and Mars by Bernard Picart was sold in the Quality in Detail. The Juli and Andrew Wieg Collection auction at Sothebys in London in March 2021. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 2,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 2,016.00 (€ 2,368.28). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Bernard Picart - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work An Allegorical Frontispiece, Perhaps A Reflection On Human Frailty, which sold at auction in July 2013 for GBP 6,875.00 (€ 7,855.89).
