Upper estimate price exceeded by 35 %.
In October 2015 Christies in London held the auction Old Master & British Paintings, which included the work Portrait of a boy, traditionally known as John Wolffe, half-length, in a satin waistcoat and fur-lined blue coat, at a writing table by Giles Hussey. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 8,125.00 (€ 11,364.85), 35% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Giles Hussey - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait of Prince Charles Edward Stuart (1720-1788), bust-length, looking to the left, in armour, which sold at auction in October 2002 for GBP 22,705.00 (€ 35,915.31).

Im Oktober 2015 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master & British Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of a boy, traditionally known as John Wolffe, half-length, in a satin waistcoat and fur-lined blue coat, at a writing table von Giles Hussey zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 8.125,00 (€ 11.364,85) und damit 35% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Giles Hussey mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait of Prince Charles Edward Stuart (1720-1788), bust-length, looking to the left, in armour beobachtet, die im Oktober 2002 für GBP 22.705,00 (€ 35.915,31) versteigert wurde.
