This artwork by Samuel Shelley achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in July 2005. In the IMPORTANT PORTRAIT MINIATURES AND OBJECTS OF VERTU auction, the work A Young Lady, In White Dress With Fichu, Long Powdered Hair Dressed In Curls sold for GBP 3,360.00 (€ 4,873.65) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,200.00. Admittedly, works by Samuel Shelley have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Aston sisters: Lady Legard and Mrs Hedges as Flora and Ceres, their arms around one another, in white dresses and pink and green stoles, ears of wheat and flowers in their upswept powdered hair, one sister holding a basket of fruit and the other in April 2002 with an auction result of GBP 16,450.00 (€ 26,615.67)
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
