A top price for Arthur Devis - as previously expected
The work Portrait of Thomas Bateman Lane (b. 1735), small full-length, in a grey suit with a blue waistcoat, holding a tricorn in his left hand, leaning on a tree stump, in a river landscape with the sea beyond by Arthur Devis was sold in the IMPORTANT BRITISH AND IRISH ART auction at Christies in London in June 2004. The price achieved of GBP 53,775.00 (€ 80,033.31) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Portrait of Thomas Bateman Lane (b. 1735), small full-length, in a grey suit with a blue waistcoat, holding a tricorn in his left hand, leaning on a tree stump, in a river landscape with the sea beyond is the most expensive artwork by Arthur Devis that we have observed at auctions so far.
