Sotheby's in London have an impressive haul of Old Masters for their forthcoming sales from the collection of the Earls of Warwick. Romney's portrait of a turbaned Edward Wortley-Montagu is one of the best-known British 18th Century portraits, and is estimated at £2m-£3m.
Update - a reader writes:
As you know, there's another version in Sheffield. So is the price difference between Sotheby's portrait and that now in Yorkshire, accepted in lieu in 2004-205 settling £315,000 0f tax, the difference between the original and a replica?
The state got a bit of a bargain...
