The work A gentleman and a lady, in profile: he in a black coat and frilled cravat; she, in a black dress with lace collar and bonnet, a red stole over her shoulders by Albin Roberts Burt was sold in the OBJECTS OF VERTU AND PORTRAIT MINIATURES & FOB SEALS auction at Christies in London in May 2002. The price achieved of GBP 376.00 (€ 588.82) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 300.00 – 500.00.
