Upper estimate price exceeded by 25 %.
The work Caricature Of Nicolò Simonelli Presenting An Infant To Be Baptized by Pier Francesco Mola was sold in the Old Master and British Works on Paper Including drawings from the Oppé Collection auction at Sothebys in London in July 2016. It achieved a price of GBP 15,000.00 (€ 17,823.24), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 25%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Pier Francesco Mola achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work An artist and a youth in January 2002 with an auction result of USD 3,086,000.00 (€ 3,590,877.36).
