Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work David cutting off the Head of Goliath, after Giulio Romano by Giovanni Battista Scultori was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2000. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 2,500.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 2,820.00 (€ 4,470.05). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Giovanni Battista Scultori - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Resurrection, which sold at auction in December 2019 for GBP 8,125.00 (€ 9,602.80).
