In June 2003 Christies in London held the auction IMPORTANT GOLD BOXES,OBJECTS OF VERTU & PORTRAIT MINIATURES, which included the work A young gentleman, facing right in blue coat with gold buttons, yellow waistcoat and frilled cravat by Charles Shirreff. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 956.00 (€ 1,373.82), 59% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Charles Shirreff have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A young lady called Miss Caroline [..., facing right in lace-bordered white dress with blue detail at right shoulder, white stole draped around her neck, tied blue ribbon in her long powdered curling hair|AID902686] in December 2002 with an auction result of GBP 5,019.00 (€ 7,704.42).
