A top price for William Larkin - as previously expected
The work Portrait of lady, probably Lady Thornhagh, three-quarter-length, in an embroidered bodice and an embroidered dress, with a pale yellow lace collar, and a blue and red mantle over her left shoulder, beside a table, flanked by draped curtains by William Larkin was sold in the Important Old Master & British PicturesEvening Sale auction at Christies in London in July 2008. The price achieved of GBP 505,250.00 (€ 641,925.81) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 400,000.00 – 600,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Portrait of lady, probably Lady Thornhagh, three-quarter-length, in an embroidered bodice and an embroidered dress, with a pale yellow lace collar, and a blue and red mantle over her left shoulder, beside a table, flanked by draped curtains is the most expensive artwork by William Larkin that we have observed at auctions so far.
