Eugène Cicéri draws an Italian vase from the Middle Ages for an estimate
Cicéri went to his friend Baron Davillier but did not find him at his home. He would have liked to talk to him about old ceramics, knowing he was an amateur and to obtain estimates for Italian vases from the Middle Ages, intended to be sold, by a friend; he expects an “approximate appreciation”.
Cicéri has drawn, on a small strong paper, separately, a beautiful vase, bearing in its center a portrait of a man in profile and enhanced with watercolor colors. 10.6 x 6.5cm. Handwritten mention header "Italian middle ages height 35 c diameter 30 c".
Mention of the hand of Baron Davillier at the top of the first page "Rep 3 7bre can be worth 2 to 300 each".
Brown ink on double sheet of laid paper.
Eugene Ciceri (Paris, 1813/1890)
French painter, illustrator and engraver.
