affected by plagues and other pandemics. Around this time, northern Italy had just recovered from several years of plague, so it was likely fresh on everyone's mind. Also assigned an £8K high estimate by Christie's, Death appearing to a Wedded Couple sold for £35K/$44.1K (or £44.1K / $55.5K w/p), or almost four-and-a-half times as much.
