Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A young gentleman, in red coat, white waistcoat, white cravat, powdered hair en queue by Thomas Day was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2008. The price achieved of GBP 525.00 (€ 551.40) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 400.00 – 600.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Day achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait Of A Gentleman in April 2008 with an auction result of GBP 19,700.00 (€ 25,114.72).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Day erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait Of A Gentleman im April 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 19.700,00 (€ 25.114,72).
