In November 2001 Christies in London held the auction Important Portrait Miniatures including works from the, which included the work A gentleman, seated, gesturing to an open book beside him; facing left in white shirt with ruffled cuffs, cravat, long coat by Heinrich Jakob Aldenrath. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,175.00 (€ 1,869.80), 68% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Heinrich Jakob Aldenrath - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait Of A Young Officer, which sold at auction in April 2008 for GBP 5,000.00 (€ 6,374.29).
