Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work A young gentleman, facing right in blue coat with gold embroidered blue collar and facings, lace cravat, powdered wig by Gustavus Hamilton was worth GBP 2,115.00 (€ 3,456.88) to a buyer in November 2000. This price was achieved in the auction IMPORTANT PORTRAIT MINIATURES, GOLD BOXES & OBJECTS OF VERTU at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 600.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Gustavus Hamilton - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Mr and Mrs John Kirwan; he, facing right in gold-bordered blue coat and waistcoat, frilled lace cravat, powdered bag wig; and she, facing left in purple dress with lace-bordered fichu, fur stole, pearl necklace, gauze veil falling from her dark upswe, which sold at auction in April 2002 for GBP 4,465.00 (€ 7,224.25).
