A top price for Robert Bowyer - as previously expected
In June 2007 Christies in London held the auction Important Portrait Miniatures and Gold Boxes, which included the work An Officer, In Scarlet Coat With Yellow Facings, Silver Epaulette, Frilled White Cravat And Black Stock, Powdered Hair En Queue by Robert Bowyer. The price achieved of GBP 2,400.00 (€ 3,561.48) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, An Officer, In Scarlet Coat With Yellow Facings, Silver Epaulette, Frilled White Cravat And Black Stock, Powdered Hair En Queue is the most expensive artwork by Robert Bowyer that we have observed at auctions so far.
