Message:: [QUOTE="808 raver, post: 366530, member: 4654"]Hi Guys, sorry to have not answered but it's been hectic all day. I have read through all the great comments and I'd like to address than all in this post. Firstly the authentication, I believe it's by him but that doesn't matter at all when it comes to convincing a top auction house so I have done further research thanks to "Huntingtreasure" the book is a good lead, I have found out that there isn't a E copy and I haven't found a copy for sale and the nearest copy to borrow is in Siena (735 miles away) So I have emailed the Uni that holds the book in a vain attempt that they will look up my piece in it and hopefully there will be some reference to it. Failing that Giusti made some 290 drawings of his works, they are also held in Siena so I may get lucky there. If all that fails then my second line of attract is to get some specialist to give their opinion. I now understand the value isn't in it's beauty as a work of art it's who done it, I know that sounds obvious but it will all be down to steadfast evidence whether it's accepted by a good auction house or not.
