This artwork by Giovanni Francesco Romanelli achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in January 2008. In the Important Old Master Paintings Including European Works of Art auction, the work A Sybil sold for USD 265,000.00 (€ 178,559.40) - well above the upper estimate of USD 120,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Giovanni Francesco Romanelli - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Flight of Aeneas and his Family from the Sack of Troy, which sold at auction in December 2003 for GBP 442,050.00 (€ 626,105.91).
