On May 22, 2007, Doyle New York held an auction of European Art. The
sale showcased works by a wide variety of prominent European artists of
the 19th and 20th centuries. With strong international competition from
telephone bidders and buyers in the salesroom, the European Art section
of the sale totaled $1,258,860 against an estimate of
$971,800-1,400,700, with a remarkable 78% sold by lot and 90% sold by

Highlighting the sale were views by Federico del Campo (Peruvian,
1837-1927) and Alexander Karlovich Beggrov (Russian, 1841-1914). An 1891
view of Saint Mark's Square in Venice by del Campo was the top lot of
the sale, achieving $276,000 from a buyer in the United Kingdom. Another

Maria Della Salute executed in 1914 sold to a buyer from France for
$192,000. A view of Saint Petersburg in twilight dated 1911 by Alexander
Karlovich Beggrov sold for $192,000 to a buyer in New York. Strong
