Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Domingos António de Sequeira achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in July 2004. In the Old Master and 19th Century Drawings auction, the work A young man gesturing to the right sold for GBP 5,377.50 (€ 8,126.59) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 2,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Domingos António de Sequeira; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Quatre têtes d'homme sold at auction in March 2007 with the realized price of EUR 12,600.00.
