A top price for John Donaldson - as previously expected
The work A Pair Of Miniatures: A Gentleman, In Red Coat With Black Collar And White Frilled Cravat; Together With A Young Lady In White Dress And Fichu, Blue Ribbon Around Her Arm, Powdered Curling Hair by John Donaldson was sold in the A Life's Devotion: The Collection of the Late Mrs T.S. Eliot auction at Christies in London in November 2013. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 4,375.00 (€ 5,264.73) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A Pair Of Miniatures: A Gentleman, In Red Coat With Black Collar And White Frilled Cravat; Together With A Young Lady In White Dress And Fichu, Blue Ribbon Around Her Arm, Powdered Curling Hair is the most expensive artwork by John Donaldson that we have observed at auctions so far.
