The work Apollo Driving The Chariot Of The Sun by Lelio Orsi was worth USD 312,500.00 (€ 289,512.69) to a buyer in January 2017. This price was achieved in the auction Old Master Drawings at Sothebys in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 70,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Lelio Orsi - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Leda And The Swan, which sold at auction in January 2008 for USD 1,497,000.00 (€ 1,008,692.14).
