Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by James Northcote achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in March 2021. In the Master Paintings and Drawings auction, the work Portrait of a Captain Raynor, R.N., seated on a rocky bank, in a midshipman's uniform sold for USD 35,280.00 (€ 30,043.43) - well above the upper estimate of USD 12,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by James Northcote - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait Of Admiral William Waldegrave, 1St Baron Radstock (1753-1825), which sold at auction in November 2007 for GBP 46,100.00 (€ 64,551.93).

Dieses Kunstwerk von James Northcote erzielte im März 2021 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Master Paintings and Drawings wurde die Arbeit Portrait of a Captain Raynor, R.N., seated on a rocky bank, in a midshipman's uniform für USD 35.280,00 (€ 30.043,43) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 12.000,00.
