Gregory Rubinstein, Director of Sotheby’s Old Master Drawings Department said, “We are thrilled with the results of this very strong sale. The work by Fra Bartolommeo was the most important drawing to appear on the market in some time, and not surprisingly, it exceeded its estimate and set a record for the artist at auction. We also witnessed strong buying across all of the national schools.”
