The work Minerva visiting Apollo and the Muses on Parnassus by Cesare Nebbia was sold in the Old Master & British Drawings & Watercolours auction at Christies in London in July 2013. The result of GBP 10,000.00 (€ 11,426.74) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Cesare Nebbia - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Circumcision Of Christ, With Saints, Prophets And Angels, which sold at auction in January 2011 for USD 56,250.00 (€ 41,013.49).
