Picture: Bonhams
A reader writes:
This still life by Hendrik van der Borcht did just quite well at Bonhams. Up till now only three other works were known by this master. He and his son advised the Lord of Arundel in numismatic matters.
£194,500 against an estimate of £1,000-£1,500. Amazing. Of course, I walked straight past it.
