A top price for Anthony van Dyck - as previously expected
The work Portrait of Princess Mary (1631–1660), daughter of King Charles I of England, full-length, in a pink dress decorated with silver embroidery and ribbons by Anthony van Dyck was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2018. The price achieved of GBP 5,858,750.00 (€ 6,527,167.10) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 5,000,000.00 – 8,000,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Portrait of Princess Mary (1631–1660), daughter of King Charles I of England, full-length, in a pink dress decorated with silver embroidery and ribbons is the most expensive artwork by Anthony van Dyck that we have observed at auctions so far.
