Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Two studies for the Assumption of the Virgin: Six Apostles, one kneeling; and Six Apostles around a tomb by Pietro Sorri was sold in the Old Master and 19th Century Drawings auction at Christies in London in July 2003. The price achieved of GBP 6,572.50 (€ 8,590.70) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 6,000.00 – 8,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Pietro Sorri - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Virgin And Child With Saint Michael And Saint Catherine, which sold at auction in March 2018 for EUR 23,750.00.
