A top price for Domenico Maggiotto - as previously expected

The work Avarice; and The pleasure of smoke and drink by Domenico Maggiotto was sold in the Old Master & British Pictures (Day Sale) auction at Christies in London in December 2008. The price achieved of GBP 31,250.00 (€ 32,821.59) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 25,000.00 – 35,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Avarice; and The pleasure of smoke and drink is the most expensive artwork by Domenico Maggiotto that we have observed at auctions so far.
