Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Portrait Of A Young Man, Possibly Anthony Henley, Son Of Sir Robert Henley, Of The Grange, Hampshire, Full-Length, In Classical Dress Carrying A Quiver And Bow, In A Landscape With A Coastal Town Beyond by John Michael Wright was sold in the British Pictures 1500-1850 auction at Christies in London in June 2001. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 40,000.00 – 60,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 44,650.00 (€ 74,172.53) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by John Michael Wright have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A Highland Chieftain: Portrait of Lord Mungo Murray (1668-1700), full-length, in highland dress, holding a flintlock sporting gun in his right hand, a gilt-hilt ribbon basket sword at his left side, in a landscape with a flock of wild goats beyond in June 2000

Freilich wurden Arbeiten von John Michael Wright auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit [A Highland Chieftain: Portrait of Lord Mungo Murray (1668-1700), full-length, in highland dress, holding a flintlock sporting gun in his right hand, a gilt-hilt ribbon basket sword at his left side, in a landscape wi
