The work Portrait of Captain Rait In The Uniform of The East India Company by Adam Buck was sold in the The 10th Anniversary Irish Sale auction at Christies in London in May 2006. It achieved a price of GBP 2,400.00 (€ 3,503.22), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 33%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Adam Buck - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Naval Officer holding his sword under his right arm, facing right in blue coat with black facings, yellow trousers, frilled cravat and black stock, powdered hair en queue, which sold at auction in May 2002 for GBP 5,975.00 (€ 9,356.93).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 33 % übertroffen
