Sold at the lower estimate price
The work Portrait Of Reverend Christopher Alderson, Bust-Length, Looking Over His Shoulder, In A Painted Oval by Joseph Wright of Derby was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May 2019. The result of USD 15,000.00 (€ 13,454.12) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 15,000.00 – 20,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Joseph Wright of Derby achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work An Academy By Lamplight in December 2017 with an auction result of GBP 7,263,700.00 (€ 8,174,230.35).
