A top price for Marcus Gheeraerts the Younger

In July 2011 Christies in London held the auction Old Master & British Paintings - Evening Sale, which included the work Portrait of Frances Howard, Countess of Hertford, later Duchess of Lennox and Richmond, full-length, in a masquerade dress, with a wreath of pansies in her hair by Marcus Gheeraerts the Younger. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 1,500,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 1,721,250.00 (€ 1,975,391.88). With this result, Portrait of Frances Howard, Countess of Hertford, later Duchess of Lennox and Richmond, full-length, in a masquerade dress, with a wreath of pansies in her hair is even the most expensive work of art by Marcus Gheeraerts the Younger that we have observed at auctions so far.
