Olympia Auctions in West London, formerly known as 25 Blythe Road, have recently announced an interesting fundraising initiative. For their three upcoming Pictures, Arms & Armour and Decorative Arts sales they'll be donating half of their specially reduced 10% commission to three cultural institutions. In line with the interests of the auction house, the three charities that will be benefitting are The Wallace Collection, Westminster Abbey and The Grange Festival.
Amongst the works of art already consigned for the Pictures auction on 28th April 2021 is this rather lovely Portrait of a Boy and Whippet by Godfrey Kneller and Studio (no estimate published yet).
Update - The Kneller will carry a very tempting estimate of £4,000 - £6,000.
