This artwork by Catherine Read achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in London in October 2020. In the Old Master Paintings auction, the work Portrait of a gentleman, half-length, in a light mauve robe de chambre and turban sold for GBP 2,805.00 (€ 3,114.71) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00.
