The work Portrait Of A Lady by William Grimaldi was sold in the Important Miniatures from a Private Collection auction at Sothebys in London in April 2008. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 4,750.00 (€ 6,055.58), 58% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by William Grimaldi; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Portrait Of Arthur Wellesley, 1St Duke Of Wellington (1769-1852) sold at auction in July 2015 with the realized price of GBP 6,875.00 (€ 9,746.44).
