Upper estimate price exceeded by 73 %.
The work Portrait of a gentleman in a red waistcoat, his hat and cane in his hand, before a riverbank by Arthur Devis was sold in the Master Paintings and Drawings Part II auction at Sothebys in New York in May last year. It achieved a price of USD 13,860.00 (€ 12,915.85), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 73%. Admittedly, works by Arthur Devis have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Portrait of Thomas Bateman Lane (b. 1735), small full-length, in a grey suit with a blue waistcoat, holding a tricorn in his left hand, leaning on a tree stump, in a river landscape with the sea beyond in June 2004 with an auction result of GBP 53,775.00 (€ 80,033.31).
