Despite a disappointment, a good price for Liberio Prosperi

This work of art by Liberio Prosperi could be acquired at Christies in London in December 2005 for an unexpectedly low price. In the JOHN FRANKS COLL. OF ORIGINAL WATERCOLOURS FOR VANITY FAIR auction, the work Major E.H. Egerton Official handicapper to the Jockey Club changed hands for GBP 1,440.00 (€ 2,090.08) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00. Despite this disappointing result, Major E.H. Egerton Official handicapper to the Jockey Club is the most expensive artwork by Liberio Prosperi that we have observed at auction so far.
