A top price for Thomas Phillips - as previously expected
The work Portrait of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, seated half-length, in a black coat, holding a silver snuff-box in his right hand by Thomas Phillips was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2001. The price achieved of GBP 47,000.00 (€ 74,791.81) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Portrait of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, seated half-length, in a black coat, holding a silver snuff-box in his right hand is the most expensive artwork by Thomas Phillips that we have observed at auctions so far.
