Sleeper of the week?
October 24 2012
Picture: Brussels Auctions
A reader alerts me to a high price made for the above 'Ecole Italienne' view of the Vatican, which made EUR215,000 (hammer) against a EUR2-3,000 estimate. Regular readers will remember the Gaspar van Wittel potential sleeper which fetched a whopping £718,850 at Sotheby's last year. Has Wittel struck again?
Of course, I completely missed both of them...
