Watch List notes:

Anonymous (17th or 18th century, possibly Netherlandish), Benvenuto Cellini (1500-71), uniface cast silver medal with bust viewed from behind and head turned three-quarters facing, his left arm raised, wearing gown with fur collar, 50.4mm, very fine. Ex Hermann Vogel collection and Pogge collection, part II, Hamburger, Nov. 1903, lot 4404; also Sotheby's, 9 April 1992, lot 485. Another example of this medal is in the British Museum (acq. 1966 and currently placed among medals described as "17th Century Italian, unknown artists"). The present portrait is taken from a painting by Vasari of Cosimo I surrounded by his artists but it actually copies the image there of Vasari himself (Cellini is shown elsewhere as an old man). A print by Joseph Collyer (1747-1827) of Cellini utilises this same image (described as after Vasari) and finally the image was used on a 19th century medal by T.W. Ingram (fl. 1820-65).
Estimate: 400-600 GBP
