A top price for Carlo Dolci - as previously expected
The work Saint Agatha by Carlo Dolci was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2018. It changed hands for a price of GBP 248,750.00 (€ 278,903.45) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 150,000.00 – 250,000.00.
