[@effess8698]

According to Wikipedia another of Beechey's family portraits sold for $821,000 in 2014 so the valuation here (£20k in 1991 = about £43k in 2023) is probably pretty conservative if the identification is correct

I'm with you on this. I've seen several videos of this appraiser evaluating paintings, and I found all his prices surprisingly low.

[@Abbadonhades]

The head of the sister to the right looked rather worn to me, actually missing bits of paint. That's why I think it was somewhat curious to hear the expert say that the painting was in good condition. All things being relative, I guess that as a close to 200 year old painting (at the time), it's been kept quite well.
