Upper estimate price exceeded by 91 %.

This artwork by Bernardino Cesari achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in July 2003. In the Old Master Pictures auction, the work The Destruction of the Children of Niobe sold for GBP 57,360.00 (€ 74,973.39) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 30,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Bernardino Cesari; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Perseus And Andromeda sold at auction in May 2019 with the realized price of USD 112,500.00 (€ 100,905.91).
