Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2000 Christies in London held the auction Irish Pictures, which included the work Portrait of the James FitzGerald (1722-1773), 20th Earl of Kildare, later 1st Duke of Leinster, three-quarter-length, in a blue coat with gold trim and brown waistcoat, holding a tricorn hat in his left hand, a landscape beyond by Robert Hunter. The price achieved of GBP 23,500.00 (€ 37,708.83) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. 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
