☆ Drawings by teenage Queen Victoria to go up for auction
  + stars: | 2024-07-01 | by ( Rosa Rahimi | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
London CNN —A set of 19th-century drawings by a teenage Queen Victoria will be put up for auction in London next week. An ink drawing by Queen Victoria, titled "A seated woman with a crown and sash" and dated 1838, is inscribed "by Her Majesty." George Hayter also gave the Queen drawing lessons, and Russell believes these drawings show his influence “quite closely”. The auction house has previously sold other works by royal artists, including a painting by Queen Victoria’s daughter, Princess Victoria, which fetched £4,198 (around $5,320) last year. The Royal Collection Trust, which looks after the royal family’s art collection, has more than 4,000 works by Queen Victoria, spanning 64 years of her life.

☆ Qing dynasty jars bought for $25 at thrift store fetch over $74,000

London CNN —A pair of jars purchased as part of a batch of ceramics from a London thrift store for £20 ($25) sold for almost 3,000 times that after they were found to date back to the Qing dynasty. They saw the items in a thrift store last year and just “had to acquire them,” without even knowing their value. “I think anyone who is in the presence of imperial Chinese porcelain, regardless of their experience, will feel drawn to them on some level,” Forrest said. But he added that Chinese porcelain is a very specialized field and, given the donations charities receive, charity workers can be forgiven for overlooking them. However, he said the seller would donate a “significant portion” of the profits to the charity that owned the thrift store, although no exact sum has been given.
