Upper estimate price exceeded by 50 %.
In December 2016 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Masters Day Sale, which included the work Portrait Of Queen Mary Ii by Willem Wissing. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 22,500.00 (€ 26,306.15), 50% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Willem Wissing - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait of Francis Thynne, Lady Worsley, full-length, in a red dress and a blue ermine-lined mantle, a domed mansion in a garden beyond, which sold at auction in September 2011 for GBP 79,250.00 (€ 92,066.47).

Im Dezember 2016 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Masters Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait Of Queen Mary Ii von Willem Wissing zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 22.500,00 (€ 26.306,15) und damit 50% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Willem Wissing mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait of Francis Thynne, Lady Worsley, full-length, in a red dress and a blue ermine-lined mantle, a domed mansion in a garden beyond beobachtet, die im September 2011 für GBP 79.250,00 (€ 92.066,47) versteigert wurde.
