Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Andrew Plimer achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in December 2020. In the Old Master and British Works on Paper, including Portrait Miniatures from the Pohl-Ströher Collection auction, the work Portrait of a lady sold for GBP 5,040.00 (€ 5,630.13) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 2,400.00.
