This artwork by Thomas Hudson achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in February this year. In the An Opulent Aesthetic: An Important Private Collection from an English Country House auction, the work Portrait of a gentleman, traditionally identified as Nathaniel Acton (1725-1795), half-length, in a grey coat sold for GBP 35,280.00 (€ 40,241.56) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 20,000.00. Admittedly, works by Thomas Hudson 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 John and Robert, sons of Robert Ker, 2nd Duke of Roxburghe, in van Dyck costume with their two dogs, an extensive landscape beyond in October 2020 with an auction result of USD 450,000.00 (€ 386,365.59).
