Upper estimate price exceeded by 30 %.
The work Apollo Driving the Chariot of the Sun by Lelio Orsi was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January last year. It achieved a price of USD 390,600.00 (€ 348,376.74), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 30%. 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).
