Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Princess Augusta Sophia (1768-1840), facing left in dress with blue bow at corsage, lace shawl, gold necklace with jewel set pendant, spotted muslin cap with pale blue silk ribbon and forget-me-nots and white flowers in her upswept plaited brown hair by Henry Pierce Bone was sold in the IMPORTANT GOLD BOXES,OBJECTS OF VERTU & PORTRAIT MINIATURES auction at Christies in London in June 2003. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 2,629.00 (€ 3,778.02), 20% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Henry Pierce Bone achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work John Charles Spencer, Viscount Althorp, 3rd Earl Spencer (1782-1845), as Chancellor of the Exchequer, full length in Chancellor's robes over black mourning suit, standing beside a George II giltwood console table from Spencer House draped with green in July 2010 with an auction result of GBP 51,650.00 (€ 62,103.
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 2.629,00 (€ 3.778,02) und damit 20% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Henry Pierce Bone erzielen.
