Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Nathaniel Plimer could be acquired at Sothebys in London in December 2020 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Old Master and British Works on Paper, including Portrait Miniatures from the Pohl-Ströher Collection auction, the work Portrait of an officer, circa 1800 changed hands for GBP 1,386.00 (€ 1,548.29) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Nathaniel Plimer - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Unknown, which sold at auction in July 2010 for GBP 3,000.00 (€ 3,607.16).
