The »bidding war« ended at USD 93,750.00 (€ 84,512.76), 34% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Giovanni Battista Torriglia - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Italian The Thread Of Life, which sold at auction in November 2007 for GBP 228,500.00 (€ 319,959.12).
