Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Two Female Figures, One Standing And A Young Boy by Pirro Ligorio was sold in the Old Master Drawings auction at Sothebys in New York in January 2015. Here, the upper estimate of USD 7,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 7,500.00 (€ 6,643.05). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Pirro Ligorio - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Two princes of the House of Guelph: Duke William VII and Duke Philip VI, which sold at auction in January 2004 for USD 22,705.00 (€ 18,234.02).
