This artwork by Laurence Hilliard achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in December 2019. In the The Pohl-Ströher Collection of Portrait Miniatures, Part III auction, the work Portrait Of A Gentleman sold for GBP 3,750.00 (€ 4,432.06) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 2,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Laurence Hilliard - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A gentleman, in black doublet, white lace ruff, curling brown hair, sideburns, moustache and pointed beard; blue background, which sold at auction in November 2007 for GBP 10,000.00 (€ 14,002.59).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 88 % übertroffen
