This artwork by John Raphael Smith achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in June 2004. In the British Art on Paper including Victorian Watercolours from auction, the work Portrait of the Right Honorable Charles James Fox, M.P. (1749-1806), seated in his study, in a blue coat and mustard waistcoat and britches sold for GBP 8,365.00 (€ 12,449.63) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 3,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Raphael Smith - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait of John Horne Tooke (1736-1812), Small Full-Length, In A Black Sleeping Hat And Blue Suit, Reclining On A Bed, which sold at auction in June 2005 for GBP 18,000.00 (€ 26,677.14).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
