Upper estimate price exceeded by 65 %.
The work Portrait of Mary Dering, seated, three-quarter-length, in an oyster satin dress with gold trim, holding a mirror, in a landscape by Francis Cotes was sold in the Old Master and British Pictures and Old Master Drawings auction at Christies in London in April 2007. It achieved a price of GBP 13,200.00 (€ 19,326.50), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 65%. 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).

Die Arbeit Portrait of Mary Dering, seated, three-quarter-length, in an oyster satin dress with gold trim, holding a mirror, in a landscape von Francis Cotes wurde im April 2007 in der Auktion Old Master and British Pictures and Old Master Drawings bei Christies in London versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 13.200,00 (€ 19.326,50) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 65%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Francis Cotes erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of Master Smith, full-length, in a mauve coat and breeches, his right hand resting on a kite, in a landscape im Juli 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 422.500,00 (€ 532.905,34).
