Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A posthumous portrait of Elizabeth, Countess of Westmorland (1648-?1667), full-length, seated in a white satin dress with gold and silver brocade, with a sprig of flowers in her left hand by John Michael Wright was sold in the Old Master Paintings & Sculpture Online auction at Christies in London in December 2020. It changed hands for a price of GBP 18,750.00 (€ 20,945.42) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 15,000.00 – 20,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Michael Wright achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Highland Chieftain: Portrait of Lord Mungo Murray (1668-1700), full-length, in highland dress, holding a flintlock sporting gun in his right hand, a gilt-hilt ribbon basket sword at his left side, in a landscape with a flock of wild goats beyond in June 2000 with an auction result of GBP 322,750.00 (€ 511,59
