Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In November 2013 Christies in London held the auction A Life's Devotion: The Collection of the Late Mrs T.S. Eliot, which included the work A Lady Called Lady Dorothy Sidney, Later Countess Of Leicester, Née Percy (C. 1598-1659), In Multi-Coloured Floral And Gold-Embroidered White Dress With Red And Gold-Embroidered Shawl Over Her Shoulder, Wearing A Pearl Necklace And Holding A Sprig Of Rose by Isaac Oliver. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 30,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 31,250.00 (€ 37,605.19). Admittedly, works by Isaac Oliver have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Elizabeth I and the Three Goddesses in July 2012 with an auction result of GBP 289,250.00 (€ 368,426.76).
