The price achieved of GBP 14,340.00 (€ 20,639.20) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 12,000.00 – 18,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Louis de Silvestre II - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Augustus closing the Temple of Janus, which sold at auction in May 2000 for USD 52,875.00 (€ 56,684.18).
