Upper estimate price exceeded by 50 %.
The work A young lady, in profile to the left, holding an eye-glass up to her right eye looking out of a window, in loose white dress with blue bodice revealing her right breast, white surcoat, gold hoop earring, her dark brown hair curled and upswept and fal by Frédéric Dubois was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2008. It achieved a price of GBP 3,750.00 (€ 4,740.13), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 50%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Frédéric Dubois - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work General Petr (Varfolomei) Andreevich Kikin (1775-1834), in military uniform of black coat with gold-embroidered red collar and gold epaulettes, wearing orders including the red sash and breast-star of the Imperial Russian Order of St. Alexander Nevsk, which sold at auction in November 2007 for GBP 9,375.00 (€ 13,127.4
