A top price for William Aikman

This artwork by William Aikman achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in October 2006. In the The Scottish Sale auction, the work Portrait of John, 2nd Duke of Argyll and 1st Duke of Greenwich (1680-1743), three-quarter-length, in a red coat with silver braid, wearing the sash and star of the Garter, a coastal fortress beyond sold for GBP 55,200.00 (€ 82,473.72) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 25,000.00. This high result makes Portrait of John, 2nd Duke of Argyll and 1st Duke of Greenwich (1680-1743), three-quarter-length, in a red coat with silver braid, wearing the sash and star of the Garter, a coastal fortress beyond the most expensive artwork by William Aikman that we have observed at auctions so far.
