This work of art by Francis Grant could be acquired at Christies in London in May 2012 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Origins of Golf: The Jaime Ortiz-Patino Collection auction, the work Portrait of John Whyte-Melville of Bennochy and Strathkiness (1797-1883), full-length, in a pink and green Captain's coat, grey trousers and black hat, holding his Wood in his right hand, the Swilcan Bridge with golfers and the Royal and Ancient Club changed hands for GBP 79,250.00 (€ 98,742.01) - However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Francis Grant - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait Of Daisy Grant, The Artist'S Daughter, Full Length, Wearing A Black Dress, Red Petticoat, Black Shawl, Hat And Boots, And Grey Gloves In A Winter Landscape, which sold at auction in June 2001 for GBP 174,250.00 (€ 289,463.92).
