Upper estimate price exceeded by 41 %.
In July 2017 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master & British Works on Paper, which included the work Portrait Of A Gentleman, Traditionally Identified As Sir Philip Sidney by Isaac Oliver. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 16,875.00 (€ 18,829.91), 41% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Isaac Oliver achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Elizabeth I and the Three Goddesses in July 2012 with an auction result of GBP 289,250.00 (€ 368,426.76).

Im Juli 2017 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Master & British Works on Paper durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait Of A Gentleman, Traditionally Identified As Sir Philip Sidney von Isaac Oliver zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 16.875,00 (€ 18.829,91) und damit 41% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Isaac Oliver erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Elizabeth I and the Three Goddesses im Juli 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 289.250,00 (€ 368.426,76).
