A top price for Leonardo di Bernardino del Signoraccio - as previously expected
The work The Annunciation by Leonardo di Bernardino del Signoraccio was sold in the Old Master & British Paintings Evening Sale auction at Sothebys in London in July 2012. The price achieved of GBP 229,250.00 (€ 292,002.88) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 200,000.00 – 300,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The Annunciation is the most expensive artwork by Leonardo di Bernardino del Signoraccio that we have observed at auctions so far.

Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The Annunciation das teuerste Kunstwerk von Leonardo di Bernardino del Signoraccio, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
