Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work H.R.H. William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland (1721-1765), Full Length, On Horseback, Wearing Frock Uniform of The First Guards With The Ribbon And Star of The Garter, Holding A Baton, A View To The Battle of Culloden Beyond by David Morier was auctioned at Christies in New York in March 2005, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by David Morier - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Equestrian portrait of Prince William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland (1721-1765), full-length, mounted on his bay charger, in a blue coat, white breeches, black hat and the sash of the Order of the Bath, a view of the River Thames beyond, which sold at auction in July 2016 for GBP 43,750.00 (€ 51,984.46).

Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 18.000,00 (€ 13.879,25) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von David Morier mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit [Equestrian portrait of Prince William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland (1721-1765), full-length, mounted on his bay charger, in a blue coat, white breeches, black hat and the sash of the Order of the Bath, a
