This artwork by Charles Robertson achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in November 2000. In the IMPORTANT PORTRAIT MINIATURES, GOLD BOXES & OBJECTS OF VERTU auction, the work Richard, 4th Viscount Powerscourt and his wife, Catherine; he, facing right in scarlet coat, white waistcoat and frilled cravat, powdered hair and she, facing right in white dress, her long dark hair falling to her shoulders sold for GBP 1,645.00 (€ 2,688.69) - well above the upper estimate of Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Charles Robertson achieve.

Dieses Kunstwerk von Charles Robertson erzielte im November 2000 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis.
