A top price for John Michael Wright - as previously expected
The work A Highland Chieftain: Portrait of Lord Mungo Murray (1668-1700), full-length, in highland dress, holding a flintlock sporting gun in his right hand, a gilt-hilt ribbon basket sword at his left side, in a landscape with a flock of wild goats beyond by John Michael Wright was sold in the Important British Art auction at Christies in London in June 2000. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 300,000.00 – 500,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 322,750.00 (€ 511,598.48) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A Highland Chieftain: Portrait of Lord Mungo Murray (1668-1700), full-length, in highland dress, holding a flintlock sporting gun in his right hand, a gilt-hilt ribbon basket sword at his left side, in a landscape with a flock of wild goats beyond is the most expensive artwork by John Michael Wright that we have observed at auctions so far.
