I studied French and German at university, then did two years as a teacher in a north London academy before changing tack and studying at The Courtauld Institute for two years, followed by a fellowship at The British Museum.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"article-full-body sans-serif\">In 2017 I joined Christie\u2019s as a graduate trainee. I did three-month stints in each department, but loved Old Master art the best. Now I\u2019m the junior specialist within a team of 10, and do all the cataloguing with the help of my colleagues. It\u2019s like being an art detective, as you search back through auction records and archives to discover a painting\u2019s story \u2013 some of the French records go back as far as the 1750s. It\u2019s a privilege to handle works by artists such as <span>Van Dyck, Pieter Brueghel the Younger, Tiepolo and Rubens. I particularly love the Regency portraits of Sir Thomas Lawrence. We sold his portrait of the 3rd Earl of&nbsp;<\/span>Clanwilliam last July. It was the most beautiful canvas; I could have kissed it!<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"article-full-body sans-serif\">Christie\u2019s is a very buzzy place and there\u2019s a constant whirl of work. We hold two big sales a year in July and December, evening sales, and lots of online sales; here you can find beautiful things incredibly cheaply, with bidding prices starting at \u00a3100. You could buy an Old Master drawing for around the \u00a31,000 mark.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"article-full-body sans-serif\">I started auctioneering last summer \u2013 the first lot I sold was <em>Venus <\/em><em>and <\/em><em>Cupid <\/em>by Artemisia Gentileschi for over \u00a32.4m.
