Auction result well in line with expectations

The work A lady, in profile to left, in dress with fichu, drop pearl earring and wearing a bonnet with a ribbon by Johann Jakob Müller was sold in the Objects of Vertu and Portrait Miniatures auction at Christies in London in March 2002. The price achieved of GBP 176.25 (€ 288.12) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 150.00 – 200.00.
