Marquess of Huntly Returning Home
October 7 2020
Picture: Sarasota Estate Auctions
Posted by Adam Busiakiewicz:
The Antiques Trade Gazette has published a small story that the above portrait of George Gordon, 2nd Marquess of Huntly, has been purchased by the Marquess's descendant. The painting came up for sale in Florida last month, catalogued as 'Manner of Anthony Van Dyck' and made $37,000 (hammer price). It has been purchased by Alastair Granville Gordon, Earl of Aboyne, and son of the 13th Marquess of Huntly. The picture will be returning to Aboyne Castle in Scotland.
The best version of this composition, perhaps the prime version although suffering with condition issues, is owned by the Duke of Buccleuch.
