Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work A young boy with long hair, bust-length by Gian Lorenzo Bernini was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2003. It achieved a price of GBP 71,700.00 (€ 93,716.73), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 20%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Gian Lorenzo Bernini - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Christ Mocked, which sold at auction in February 2013 for USD 398,500.00 (€ 304,686.90).
