Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Major-General James Crofts, facing right in gilt-studded armour and white shirt, full bottomed curling wig by Thomas Forster was sold in the Miniatures auction at Christies in London in May 2000. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,116.25 (€ 1,791.17), 24% above the upper estimate. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Major-General James Crofts, facing right in gilt-studded armour and white shirt, full bottomed curling wig von Thomas Forster wurde im Mai 2000 in der Auktion Miniatures bei Christies in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 1.116,25 (€ 1.791,17) und damit 24% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Forster erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait Of A Gentleman im Dezember 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 65.000,00 (€ 76.822,39).
