A top price for Raffaello Sorbi - as previously expected
The work Italian saltarello Cavallucio (A Game Of Leapfrog) by Raffaello Sorbi was sold in the 19th Century European Art auction at Sothebys in New York in November 2012. The price achieved of USD 326,500.00 (€ 250,960.80) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 300,000.00 – 400,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Italian saltarello Cavallucio (A Game Of Leapfrog) is the most expensive artwork by Raffaello Sorbi that we have observed at auctions so far.
