Following on from my recent post, it appears that a guide price of £8.2m has been placed on the Claude from the collections of the Dukes of Bedford at Woburn Abbey. The most expensive painting by Claude to sell at public auction in recent times was this example, sold from the collection of the Smith family from Hambledon Manor, which made £5.06m at Christie's in 2013.
