Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Arabic Gentlemen in discussion, with a street scene beyond by Vittorio Rappini was sold in the Travel and Natural History auction at Christies in London in October 2006. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 1,560.00 (€ 2,330.78) could thus just exceed the lower estimate.
