Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Giuseppe Bazzani achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in January 2011. In the Important Old Master Paintings & Sculpture auction, the work Pietà With Mary Magdalene sold for USD 57,500.00 (€ 41,924.90) - well above the upper estimate of USD 20,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Giuseppe Bazzani; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Christ mourned by seraphim sold at auction in April 2017 with the realized price of USD 62,500.00 (€ 57,365.76).
