CHARLES ROBERTSON (IRISH, 1759-1821)
Mrs Ann Henry, in white dress with frilled collar, black choker, white scarf in her powdered hair falling in loose curls over her left shoulder; sky background

oval, 2 3/16 in. (55 mm.) high, gilt-metal frame, the reverse with gold paillons of stars on plaited hair ground

Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Mrs Ann Henry, in white dress with frilled collar, black choker, white scarf in her powdered hair falling in loose curls over her left shoulder; sky background by Charles Robertson was sold in the Important Portrait Miniatures and Gold Boxes auction at Christies in London in December 2008. The price achieved of GBP 1,875.00 (€ 1,969.30) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,500.00 – 2,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Charles Robertson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Carpet Seller, Cairo in October 2019 with an auction result of GBP 663,000.00 (€ 769,032.45).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Mrs Ann Henry, in white dress with frilled collar, black choker, white scarf in her powdered hair falling in loose curls over her left shoulder; sky background von Charles Robertson wurde im Dezember 2008 in der Auktion Important Portrait Miniatures and Gold Boxes bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.875,00 (€ 1.969,30) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.500,00 – 2.500,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Charles Robertson erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Carpet Seller, Cairo im Oktober 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 663.000,00 (€ 769.032,45).
