Portrait of Vittorio Emanuele II, King of Italy (1820-1878)

Found at Christies, London
THE COLLECTION OF S.A.R. LA PRINCIPESSA REALE DI SAVOIA, Lot 1143
22. APR - 22. APR 2005
Estimate: 200 - 300 GBP
Price realised: 960 GBP
Cesare Maccari, Italian, 1840-1919
Portrait of Vittorio Emanuele II, King of Italy (1820-1878)
signed 'Maccari' (lower left)
oil on canvas in painted oval
11 x 8¾ in. (27.9 x 22.2 cm.)

Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work Portrait of Vittorio Emanuele II, King of Italy (1820-1878) by Cesare Maccari was auctioned at Christies in London in April 2005, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 300.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 960.00 (€ 1,420.94). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Cesare Maccari - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The fortune teller, which sold at auction in September 2019 for GBP 4,437.00 (€ 5,006.63).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Portrait of Vittorio Emanuele II, King of Italy (1820-1878) von Cesare Maccari im April 2005 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 300,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 960,00 (€ 1.420,94) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Cesare Maccari mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The fortune teller beobachtet, die im September 2019 für GBP 4.437,00 (€ 5.006,63) versteigert wurde.
