This artwork by Godfrey Kneller achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in May 2012. In the Old Masters & British Paintings auction, the work Portrait of a lady, traditionally identified as Catherine Perceval (c.1689-1749), Countess of Egmont, bust-length, in a blue dress and brown wrap, in a feigned oval sold for GBP 8,750.00 (€ 10,902.12) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 5,000.00.
