This artwork by William Wood achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in May 2014. In the The Raglan Collection: Wellington, Waterloo and The Crimea And Works of Art from the Collection of the Marquesses of Londonderry auction, the work Portrait of Katherine, Countess of Mornington (1760-1851), full-length, in a white dress and blue sash, a landscape beyond sold for GBP 3,000.00 (€ 3,687.10) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00.
