Upper estimate price exceeded by 46 %.
The work Portrait of General James Inglis Hamilton (before 1742-1803), half-length, in a red jacket, holding a rifle by Joshua Reynolds was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2019. It achieved a price of GBP 35,000.00 (€ 38,427.67), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 46%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Joshua Reynolds achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of Lady Frances Marsham, later Countess of Romney (1755-1795), full-length, in a yellow dress and pink shawl, in a park landscape in July 2014 with an auction result of GBP 4,786,500.00 (€ 6,037,281.44).

Die Arbeit Portrait of General James Inglis Hamilton (before 1742-1803), half-length, in a red jacket, holding a rifle von Joshua Reynolds kam im Juli 2019 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 35.000,00 (€ 38.427,67) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 46%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Joshua Reynolds erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of Lady Frances Marsham, later Countess of Romney (1755-1795), full-length, in a yellow dress and pink shawl, in a park landscape im Juli 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 4.786.500,00 (€ 6.037.281,44).
