Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price

The work A woodland hideout by Giovanni Costa was worth GBP 3,500.00 (€ 4,360.85) to a buyer in May 2012. This price was achieved in the auction Christie's Interiors at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 700.00 many times over. Admittedly, works by Giovanni Costa have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work An odalisque with a red fan in July 2008 with an auction result of GBP 25,000.00 (€ 31,762.78).
