It achieved a price of GBP 6,500.00 (€ 9,101.68), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 30%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Astley - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait of A Lady, Bust-Length, In An Elaborate Red Dress With Ermine Trim, With A White Lace Ruff, And Pearls In Her Hair, which sold at auction in June 2005 for GBP 15,000.00 (€ 22,230.95).
