Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Spanish La Niña Torera (The Torero Girl) by Julio Romero de Torres was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2009. The price achieved of GBP 301,250.00 (€ 329,679.29) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 250,000.00 – 350,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Julio Romero de Torres - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Fuensanta, which sold at auction in November 2007 for GBP 826,900.00 (€ 1,157,873.93).
