In May 2004 Christies in London held the auction IMPORTANT GOLD BOXES,OBJECTS OF VERTU & PORTRAIT MINIATURES, which included the work Sir Arthur Hesilrige (d. 1661), in gilt-studded armour and lawn collar, long brown hair by John Hoskins. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 10,755.00 (€ 16,136.46), 34% above the upper estimate. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 34 % übertroffen
Im Mai 2004 führte Christies in London die Auktion IMPORTANT GOLD BOXES,OBJECTS OF VERTU & PORTRAIT MINIATURES durch, in der auch die Arbeit Sir Arthur Hesilrige (d. 1661), in gilt-studded armour and lawn collar, long brown hair von John Hoskins zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 10.755,00 (€ 16.136,46) und damit 34% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von John Hoskins mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit 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 beobachtet, die im November 2007 für GBP 36.500,00 (€ 51.109,44) versteigert wurde.
