An Old Master portrait of an elderly Stuart woman, pictured left, took £13,200 at Mander Auctioneers (17.5% buyer’s premium) in Suffolk on November 18.
The substantial, 3ft 10in x 2ft 9in (1.18m x 83cm), oil on panel had formerly been in the collection of Scottish architect and furniture designer Robert Lorimer (1864-1929), and was photographed in his dining room by Country Life in 1913.
