Vienna: marble bust attributed to Corradini reaches €1.925 million

Il Giornale dell’Arte reports that a white-marble Veiled Woman, attributed to Antonio Corradini, sold at Dorotheum in Vienna on 20 October for €1.925 million.

The attribution remains qualified. This is a historic artwork’s auction result, not a price benchmark for blocks or slabs.

The bust draws attention to marble carving and the visual effect of a sculpted veil.
