A top price for Adolf Theer - as previously expected

The work Jenny Lind (1820-1887), in white dress, crown of laurels in her curled light brown hair by Adolf Theer was sold in the Portrait Miniatures, Objects of Vertu & Icons auction at Christies in London in June 2005. It changed hands for a price of GBP 780.00 (€ 1,156.01) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 600.00 – 800.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Jenny Lind (1820-1887), in white dress, crown of laurels in her curled light brown hair is the most expensive artwork by Adolf Theer that we have observed at auctions so far.
