Upper estimate price exceeded by 32 %.
The work Study for The Birth of St. John the Baptist by Giovanni Battista Gaulli was sold in the Master Paintings and Drawings auction at Sothebys in New York in October 2021. It achieved a price of USD 5,292.00 (€ 4,581.02), 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 Gaulli achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait Of A Lady, Head And Shoulders in January 2014 with an auction result of USD 569,000.00 (€ 421,481.48).
