Upper estimate price exceeded by 25 %.
The work Portrait Of Henry Cope, 'The Green Man', Half-Length, Wearing Green And Holding A Ring In His Left Hand by Francis Cotes was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2016. It achieved a price of GBP 25,000.00 (€ 29,229.06), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 25%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Francis Cotes achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of Master Smith, full-length, in a mauve coat and breeches, his right hand resting on a kite, in a landscape in July 2014 with an auction result of GBP 422,500.00 (€ 532,905.34).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 25 % übertroffen
