In February 2005 Christies in London held the auction BRITISH AND CONTINENTAL PICTURES, which included the work Portrait of James II, small half-length, in military dress; Portrait of William III, small half-length, in military dress; and Portrait of the Hon. Robert Boyle, small half-length, in academic dress by George Perfect Harding. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 600.00 (€ 870.08), 50% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by George Perfect Harding have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work James I (1566-1625), King Of Scotland As James Vi 1567-1625, And King Of England 1603-1625, In Gold-Embroidered Doublet With Ermine Sleeves, High Lace Ruff, Wearing The Collar Of The Order Of The Garter And A Great George, Black Hat With Jewelled Hat Badg in November 2013 with an auction result of GBP 5,000.00
