A top price for Lorenzo di Niccolò
In July 2011 Christies in London held the auction Old Master & British Paintings - Evening Sale, which included the work The Madonna and Child Enthroned by Lorenzo di Niccolò. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 500,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 541,250.00 (€ 621,165.35). With this result, The Madonna and Child Enthroned is even the most expensive work of art by Lorenzo di Niccolò that we have observed at auctions so far.
