Resolution will be determined by the actual hammer price achieved during the live auction beginning June 24, 2026, at 1:00 PM EDT, as reported by Sotheby's. The critical moment arrives when the auctioneer opens bidding on this lot during the June 24 live auction session.

The market contains multiple outcomes based on progressive price thresholds for the lot sold price of "Two Studies for Self-Portrait" by Francis Bacon at the Sotheby's live auction beginning June 24, 2026, 01:00 PM EDT.
