A top price for Raffaele Pontremoli
When the work Vittorio Emanuele II, King of Italy (1820-1878), mounted on horseback by Raffaele Pontremoli 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 6,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 20,400.00 (€ 30,194.97). This high result makes Vittorio Emanuele II, King of Italy (1820-1878), mounted on horseback the most expensive artwork by Raffaele Pontremoli that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Raffaele Pontremoli
Als die Arbeit Vittorio Emanuele II, King of Italy (1820-1878), mounted on horseback von Raffaele Pontremoli 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 6.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 20.400,00 (€ 30.194,97) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Vittorio Emanuele II, King of Italy (1820-1878), mounted on horseback zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Raffaele Pontremoli, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
