Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2005 Christies in London held the auction British Art on Paper, which included the work Portrait of A Lady, Traditionally Identified As The Artist'S Wife, Half-Length, In A Black Dress And Large Hat by John Raphael Smith. The price achieved of GBP 2,880.00 (€ 4,231.08) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,500.00 – 3,500.00. Admittedly, works by John Raphael Smith have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Portrait of John Horne Tooke (1736-1812), Small Full-Length, In A Black Sleeping Hat And Blue Suit, Reclining On A Bed in June 2005 with an auction result of GBP 18,000.00 (€ 26,677.14).
