It achieved a price of USD 19,200.00 (€ 14,055.64), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 60%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Francesco Ballesio - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Italian Odalisque, which sold at auction in May 2008 for GBP 24,500.00 (€ 31,165.07).
