This artwork by Gaetano Gandolfi achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in January 2021. In the From Taddeo to Tiepolo: The Dr. John O’Brien Collection of Old Master Drawings auction, the work Thetis entrusting the infant Achilles to the centaur Chiron sold for USD 35,280.00 (€ 29,072.93) - well above the upper estimate of USD 20,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gaetano Gandolfi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Diana and Callisto in January 2010 with an auction result of USD 4,114,500.00 (€ 2,966,474.41).
