The Rialto Bridge with the Palazzo dei Camerlenghi by Guardi –£23.25m at Christie’s on July 6.
The latest Old Master sales in London put in a solid performance with the overall total from last week’s auction series running at £115m (including premium) with one day sale still to take place at the time of going to press.
The amount raised was broadly similar to the £123.1m from the equivalent sales last year with two works in particular, one each at Christie’s and Sotheby’s, making large contributions to the total.
