The work Portrait Of An Officer Of The Royal Horse Artillery, Traditionally Identified As Captain Fitzroy by John Cox Dillman Engleheart was sold in the The Pohl-Ströher Collection of Portrait Miniatures Part II auction at Sothebys in London in July 2019. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 2,500.00 (€ 2,744.83), 25% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Cox Dillman Engleheart - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The left eye of the artist's sister, Mary Cox Dillman Engleheart (1782-1845), later Mrs John Pyne, brown iris with curling lock of brown hair, which sold at auction in December 2002 for GBP 5,736.00 (€ 8,805.05).
