The work Sir Henry Blount (1602-1682), In Black Doublet And White Lawn Collar, Brown Curling Hair by Richard Gibson was sold in the A Life's Devotion: The Collection of the Late Mrs T.S. Eliot auction at Christies in London in November 2013. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 13,750.00 (€ 16,546.28), 72% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Richard Gibson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A fine portrait miniature of Barbara Villiers, Duchess of Cleveland (1640-1709), in gold dress with puffed sleeves, slashed to reveal white underdress and fastened at shoulder with three pearl-set bands, diamond-set crucifix worn at corsage, wearing, which sold at auction in July 2010 for GBP 30,000.00 (€ 36,071.62).
