This artwork by Ricciardo Meacci achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in December 2005. In the British and Continental Watercolours and Oriental auction, the work Christ enthroned, flanked by the Virgin and St. Francis of Assisi, before the Fountain of Life sold for GBP 2,880.00 (€ 4,180.16) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ricciardo Meacci - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Italian Primavera, which sold at auction in April 2008 for USD 25,000.00 (€ 16,058.58).
