The work Three plates, from: Life-sized Heads by Thomas Frye was auctioned at Christies in London in March 2017. It achieved a price of GBP 2,500.00 (€ 2,929.75), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 25%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Frye achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait Of A Gentleman; And Portrait Of A Lady in April 2010 with an auction result of GBP 43,250.00 (€ 49,772.29).
