Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Lieutenant Colonel George Allan Of The 16Th Hussars, ‘The Hussar’ by Henry Raeburn was auctioned at Christies in New York in October 2020. It changed hands for a price of USD 93,750.00 (€ 80,492.83) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 70,000.00 – 100,000.00. Admittedly, works by Henry Raeburn have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Portrait of Sir Evan Murray-MacGregor of MacGregor, 2nd Bt., K.C.B., K.C.H., 19th Chief of Clan Gregor, as a boy (1785-1841), full-length, in tartan, in a landscape in July 2014 with an auction result of GBP 458,500.00 (€ 578,312.66).
