The work The Lying-in-State of the Emperor Paul I (1796-01), with a guard of honour, in a neoclassical interior by Giacomo Quarenghi was worth GBP 20,400.00 (€ 29,970.18) to a buyer in November 2005. This price was achieved in the auction RUSSIAN PICTURES at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 5,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Giacomo Quarenghi - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Four views of Bakhchiserai in the Crimea: Houses along the river; The walls of a mosque; A lane with a view of mountains; and A mosque among trees, which sold at auction in November 2005 for GBP 60,000.00 (€ 88,147.58).
