Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work A young boy, full face in coat and white cravat, holding his draped cloak in his raised right hand by Thomas Forster was worth GBP 3,760.00 (€ 6,033.41) to a buyer in May 2000. This price was achieved in the auction Miniatures at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 1,200.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Forster achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait Of A Gentleman in December 2019 with an auction result of GBP 65,000.00 (€ 76,822.39).
