This artwork by Andrew Morton achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in March 2011. In the Christie's Interiors - Masters & Makers, Oak Furniture, Works of Art, Arts & Crafts and Old Master Paintings auction, the work Portrait of Lord Fitzroy James Henry Somerset, 1st Baron Raglan (1788-1855), half-length, in military uniform, a plumed hat under his left arm sold for GBP 2,750.00 (€ 3,111.61) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00.
