Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait of a lady, three-quarter-length, in a white silk dress, seated playing a clavichord by William Verelst was sold in the Old Master and British Paintings auction at Christies in London in November 2016. It changed hands for a price of GBP 7,500.00 (€ 8,849.26) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 6,000.00 – 8,000.00. Admittedly, works by William Verelst have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Portrait Of A Boy, Full-Length, In A Pale Red Silver Embroidered Coat, Waistcoat, And Breeches, With A Spaniel, A Staff In His Right Hand And A Tricorn On The Ground At His Feet, By A Plinth In A Wooded Landscape in June 2002 with an auction result of GBP 31,070.00 (€ 48,058.25).
