Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
The work The theological virtues by Ricciardo Meacci was worth GBP 6,500.00 (€ 7,815.52) to a buyer in July 2010. This price was achieved in the auction Old Masters and 19th Century Art at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00 many times over. 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).
