Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait of a gentleman, half-length, in a blue coat, within a painted oval by Joseph Highmore was sold in the Old Master Paintings auction at Bonhams in October 2021. The price achieved of GBP 3,825.00 (€ 4,531.59) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Joseph Highmore achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Three girls, three-quarter-length, in blue, pink and oyster satin dresses, in a landscape in December 2000 with an auction result of GBP 44,650.00 (€ 71,127.05).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Joseph Highmore erzielen.
