Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Portrait of Ernest Augustus I (1771-1851), Duke of Cumberland and later King of Hanover (1837-1851), full-length, in the uniform of a British General Officer of Hussars, with the blue sash and breast star of the Order of the Garter zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von William Owen, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
