Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

In March 2001 Christies in London held the auction Objects of Vertu and Miniatures, which included the work A lady called Mrs. Robert Colquhoun (née Marchesa Bradura-Manin), in a blue dress with lace sleeves, wearing a lace bonnet with blue ribbon tied under her chin, seated in a crimson chair holding an open book; in an interior by Christina Robertson. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 600.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 611.00 (€ 985.91). Admittedly, works by Christina Robertson have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Portrait Of A Lady in November 2017 with an auction result of GBP 4,750.00 (€ 5,391.96).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Im März 2001 führte Christies in London die Auktion Objects of Vertu and Miniatures durch, in der auch die Arbeit A lady called Mrs. Robert Colquhoun (née Marchesa Bradura-Manin), in a blue dress with lace sleeves, wearing a lace bonnet with blue ribbon tied under her chin, seated in a crimson chair holding an open book; in an interior von Christina Robertson zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 600,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 611,00 (€ 985,91) einen neuen Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Christina Robertson auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Portrait Of A Lady im November 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 4.750,00 (€ 5.391,96).
