Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Thomas Hudson achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in April last year. In the Old Master Paintings auction, the work Portrait of Henry Hunter with a spaniel, full-length, standing in a landscape holding a flint-lock and his tricorn sold for GBP 40,320.00 (€ 48,080.17) - 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).

In der Auktion Old Master Paintings wurde die Arbeit Portrait of Henry Hunter with a spaniel, full-length, standing in a landscape holding a flint-lock and his tricorn für GBP 40.320,00 (€ 48.080,17) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 20.000,00.
