Upper estimate price exceeded by 42 %.
In June 2008 Sothebys in London held the auction Important British Paintings, which included the work Portrait Of Edward Michael Pakenham, 2Nd Baron Longford (1743-1792) by Robert Hunter. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 21,250.00 (€ 26,860.71), 42% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Robert Hunter have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Group portrait of George Rochfort, 2nd Earl of Belvedere, and his second wife Jane, daughter of Rev. James Mackay, the latter holding a baby in her arms, three-quarter-length, seated on a sofa, the former in Volunteer uniform, in an interior with a d in May 2002 with an auction result of GBP 149,650.00 (€ 234,353.92)

Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 21.250,00 (€ 26.860,71) und damit 42% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Robert Hunter auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Group portrait of George Rochfort, 2nd Earl of Belvedere, and his second wife Jane, daughter of Rev. James Mackay, the latter holding a baby in her arms, three-quarter-length, seated on a sofa, the former in Volunteer uniform, in an interior with a d im Mai 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 149.650,00 (€ 234.353,92).
