Sold at the lower estimate price
The work A Young Boy called Charles Norman by Gervase Spencer was auctioned at Christies in London in April 2008. The result of GBP 500.00 (€ 637.43) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 500.00 – 800.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gervase Spencer achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait Of A Young Boy, Circa 1750 in May 2020 with an auction result of GBP 6,875.00 (€ 7,632.01).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
