Sandro Botticelli's Young Man Holding A Roundel

Sotheby's estimate predicts a sale price in excess of US$80 million. This painting is not just the greatest Botticelli in private hands but is to be considered amongst the finest Renaissance paintings in private ownership. There will likely not be an opportunity to acquire a Renaissance painting of such importance and beauty for many years, if at all. We shall wait and see for the lucky buyer soon.
