Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Portrait Of A Gentleman by Thomas Forster was worth GBP 6,000.00 (€ 7,091.30) to a buyer in December 2019. This price was achieved in the auction The Pohl-Ströher Collection of Portrait Miniatures, Part III at Sothebys in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 2,000.00 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).
