The work A gentleman, seated in a chair reading The Courier in an interior by Augustin Amant Constant Fidèle Edouart was sold in the At Home - Portrait Miniatures, Objects of Vertu, Irish, Scot auction at Christies in London in October 2004. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 478.00 (€ 687.97), 41% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Augustin Amant Constant Fidèle Edouart achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work An Album Of Silhouettes Of ‘Irish Characters' in July 2014 with an auction result of GBP 32,500.00 (€ 40,992.72).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 41 % übertroffen
