A top price for Mary Eastman
When the work Portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, Seated Three-Quarter Length, In Royal Dress by Mary Eastman was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2006, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 2,880.00 (€ 4,203.86). This high result makes Portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, Seated Three-Quarter Length, In Royal Dress the most expensive artwork by Mary Eastman that we have observed at auctions so far.
