Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A boy, in open white shirt, purple cloak, reading a book by Jean-François Soiron was sold in the Important Portrait Miniatures and Gold Boxes auction at Christies in London in December 2008. The price achieved of GBP 2,500.00 (€ 2,625.73) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Admittedly, works by Jean-François Soiron have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A Young Lady In A Wood, In Black Coat, Red-Bordered Purple Dress With Black Belt With Gold Buckle, White Fichu And White Stock, Gold Earrings, Plumed Black Hat In Her Long Curling Hair in November 2006 with an auction result of GBP 7,800.00 (€ 11,583.24).
