This artwork by George Peter Alexander Healy achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in August 2005. In the THE HOUSE SALE auction, the work Portrait of a gentleman sold for USD 2,640.00 (€ 2,141.12) - well above the upper estimate of USD 1,200.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Peter Alexander Healy - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait of Miss Sophie Burnley and Miss Charlotte Heath Burnley, seated three-quarter-length, in white and pink dresses, in an interior, which sold at auction in May 2002 for GBP 2,820.00 (€ 4,416.16).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

In der Auktion THE HOUSE SALE wurde die Arbeit Portrait of a gentleman für USD 2.640,00 (€ 2.141,12) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 1.200,00.
