Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Jan Massys achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in December 2012. In the Including Three Renaissance Masterworks from Chatsworth auction, the work An Allegory Of Charity sold for GBP 445,250.00 (€ 549,116.90) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 220,000.00.
