Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A Portrait Of William Kerr, 4Th Marquess Of Lothian On A Charger, His Aide-De-Camp To The Left, And A Military Encampment Beyond by David Morier was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2016. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 30,000.00 – 50,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 32,500.00 (€ 37,997.77) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Other works by David Morier have already achieved higher auction prices, for example, in July 2016 the work Equestrian portrait of Prince William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland (1721-1765), full-length, mounted on his bay charger, in a blue coat, white breeches, black hat and the sash of the Order of the Bath, a view of the River Thames beyond was auctioned for GBP 43,750.00 (€ 51,984.46).
