The work Portrait of Benjamin West P.R.A (1738-1820), half-length, in a black coat, his left hand resting on some books, a pair of spectacles in his right hand, beside a sketch of Christ Rejected by George Henry Harlow was sold in the The Collection of Professor Sir Albert Richardson, P.R.A. auction at Christies in London in September 2013. It achieved a price of GBP 7,500.00 (€ 8,965.09), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 25%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Henry Harlow - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait Kitty Stephens, Later Countess Of Essex (1794 - 1882), which sold at auction in June 2008 for GBP 20,000.00 (€ 25,280.67).
