News has arrived that the French auction house Millon will be offering a remerged painting by George Romney on 29th May 2026. The portrait of Carolina Maria Vernon, the sister-in-law to George, 2nd Earl of Warwick, was only known from a B&W image until its recent re-emergence with the descendants of the family of Franz Frantsevich Uteman (1868-1925) of St Petersburg. The picture will be offered carrying an estimate of €150,000 - €200,000.
