Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait of Mary Villiers, Duchess of Lennox and Richmond (1622-1685), half-length, in a blue dress, her left hand resting on an Ouroboros, with her children, Esmé (1649-1660) and Mary (1651-1668) Stuart, before a draped curtain, a landscape beyond by John Michael Wright was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2012. The price achieved of GBP 37,250.00 (€ 45,939.60) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Michael Wright achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Highland Chieftain: Portrait of Lord Mungo Murray (1668-1700), full-length, in highland dress, holding a flintlock sporting gun in his right hand, a gilt-hilt ribbon basket sword at his left side, in a landscape with a flock of wild goats beyond in June 2000 with an auction result of GBP 322,75
