The work Portrait Of Lieutenant John Abercrombie (D. 1758) Of The 1St Foot, The Royal Regiment, Half-Length, In A Feigned Oval by Allan Ramsay was auctioned at Christies in New York in May 2019. It achieved a price of USD 81,250.00 (€ 72,876.49), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 35%. Admittedly, works by Allan Ramsay have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Portrait of Anne, Lady North (c. 1740-1797), wife of Frederick North, 2nd Baron North, three-quarter-length, in a pink dress and lace shawl with roses at her décolletage, and a lace headdress, by a column in July 2008 with an auction result of GBP 421,250.00 (€ 535,202.87).
