In June 2005 Christies in London held the auction Portrait Miniatures, Objects of Vertu & Icons, which included the work A young lady, seated in a blue upholstered chair, in black velvet dress, drop jewel pendant at corsage, white fur-bordered red cloak, her centre-parted light brown hair dressed in ringlets; pillar and landscape background beyond by Thomas Hargreaves. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 660.00 (€ 978.16), 65% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Thomas Hargreaves - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Anne Earle, facing right in white dress, lace-bordered white surcoat, pale pink cashmere stole draped over her left shoulder, a lorgnette on a long gold chain pinned at waist, lace mob cap tied under her chin in her dark brown hair, her right elbow r, which sold at auction in June 2003 for GBP 2,629.00 (€ 3,778.02).

Für andere Arbeiten von Thomas Hargreaves mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Anne Earle, facing right in white dress, lace-bordered white surcoat, pale pink cashmere stole draped over her left shoulder, a lorgnette on a long gold chain pinned at waist, lace mob cap tied under her chin in her dark brown hair, her right elbow r beobachtet, die im Juni 2
