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.

Dieses Kunstwerk von William Aikman erzielte im Oktober 2006 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion The Scottish Sale wurde die Arbeit 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 für GBP 55.200,00 (€ 82.473,72) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 25.000,00.
