Upper estimate price exceeded by 32 %.
The work A Roman basilica with a round church beyond, said to be San Giovanni Laterano; The walls of a town with an arcaded church tower, said to be Santa Sabina; A church by an aqueduct, said to be San Sisto Vecchio, figures in a boat in the foreground; and by Giovanni Battista Busiri was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2003. It achieved a price of GBP 1,057.50 (€ 1,497.81), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 32%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Giovanni Battista Busiri achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Six Roman Views: The Colosseum; The Temple Of Vesta At Tivoli; The Waterfalls At Tivoli; The Pyramid Of Caius Cestius; The Temple Of Vesta In Rome; The Tomb Of Caecilia Metella in December 2014 with an auction result of GBP 41,250.00 (€ 53,102.43).
