Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work A set of eight individual military figures on horseback, one on a mule; two being attended by other figures, before ruins by Francesco Simonini was sold in the Old Master & British Paintings Day Sale auction at Christies in London in July 2014. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 35,000.00 (€ 44,146.00), 17% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Francesco Simonini - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work An extensive mountainous landscape with a battle scene, which sold at auction in July 2014 for GBP 92,500.00 (€ 116,671.58).

Die Arbeit A set of eight individual military figures on horseback, one on a mule; two being attended by other figures, before ruins von Francesco Simonini wurde im Juli 2014 in der Auktion Old Master & British Paintings Day Sale bei Christies in London versteigert.
