The »bidding war« ended at USD 217,000.00 (€ 146,216.56), 45% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Pietro Berrettini - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Christ And The Woman Taken In Adultery, which sold at auction in January 2016 for USD 490,000.00 (€ 452,363.37).
