Sotheby's New York Old Master sale last night made a total of $5.2m (with preimum), less than half Christie's total of $12.5m earlier in the week. The top lot was a curious 14th C Madonna by the Pseudo Dalmasio Degli Scannabecchi (above), which sold for $794,500. The Guido Reni fragment I mentioned previously made $122,500.
