Upper estimate price exceeded by 100 %.

This artwork by John Closterman achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in December 2011. In the Old Masters and British Paintings auction, the work Portrait of Edward Radclyffe 2nd Earl of Derwentwater (1655-1705), bust-length, in a red mantle sold for GBP 10,000.00 (€ 11,976.41) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 5,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by John Closterman; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Portrait Of Isabella Willis (D. 1727) sold at auction in June 2008 with the realized price of GBP 17,500.00 (€ 22,120.59).
