A top price for François-Xavier-Louis Hohr - as previously expected
In July 2005 Christies in London held the auction IMPORTANT PORTRAIT MINIATURES AND OBJECTS OF VERTU, which included the work A Young Gentleman, Seated In A Pink Upholstered Gilt Chair With His Left Arm Leaning On A Marble-Topped Gilt-Wood Table Holding A Book In His Hand, In Green Coat With Silver Buttons, Grey Trousers, White Waistcoat And Stock, Long Powdered Hair; Drape by François-Xavier-Louis Hohr. The price achieved of GBP 1,800.00 (€ 2,610.88) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,500.00 – 2,500.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A Young Gentleman, Seated In A Pink Upholstered Gilt Chair With His Left Arm Leaning On A Marble-Topped Gilt-Wood Table Holding A Book In His Hand, In Green Coat With Silver Buttons, Grey Trousers, White Waistcoat And Stock, Long Powdered Hair; Drape is the most expensive artwork by François-Xavier-Louis Hohr that we have observed at auctions so far.
