Portrait of an officer, three-quarter-length, in scarlet uniform with green facings, holding a cane in his right hand, in a landscape
oil on canvas
50 x 40 in. (127 x 101.6 cm.)

Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by John Trotter achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in May 2000. In the Irish Pictures auction, the work Portrait of an officer, three-quarter-length, in scarlet uniform with green facings, holding a cane in his right hand, in a landscape sold for GBP 42,300.00 (€ 67,875.90) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 20,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by John Trotter; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Portrait Of An Officer Of The 18Th Royal Irish Regiment Of Foot sold at auction in December 2008 with the realized price of GBP 85,250.00 (€ 89,537.31).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
