Upper estimate price exceeded by 100 %.
This artwork by Francis Towne achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in September 2019. In the Old Master and British Works on Paper Online auction, the work A View Of A Hermitage At Rocca Di Papa, Near Lake Albano, Italy sold for GBP 10,000.00 (€ 11,283.81) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Francis Towne achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Lake Of Albano, Morning Sun Rising Over Rocca Del Papa in July 2010 with an auction result of GBP 289,250.00 (€ 347,790.53).
