Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait of Count Ilya Andreevich Bezborodko by Dmitry Levitsky was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2020. The price achieved of GBP 438,500.00 (€ 489,843.58) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 350,000.00 – 500,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Dmitry Levitsky - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait Of Emperor Paul I (1754-1801), which sold at auction in June 2021 for GBP 862,500.00 (€ 1,005,036.72).
