This artwork by John Hoskins achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in December 2019. In the The Pohl-Ströher Collection of Portrait Miniatures, Part III auction, the work Portrait Of A Lady, Traditionally Identified As Lady Anne Fanshawe (1625-1680) sold for GBP 21,250.00 (€ 25,115.01) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 12,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Hoskins - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A gentleman called Inigo Jones, in black gown, white lawn collar with tassels, black skull cap, long curling brown hair, moustache and small pointed beard; pillar and landscape background with castle in the distance, which sold at auction in November 2007 for GBP 36,500.00 (€ 51,109.44).
