\"Portrait<\/a>A small oil painting that had been in a collection for years, most likely from the early 1950s, possibly even longer, just had a big payday for the owners.<\/p>\n

The painting, just 12 \u00bc x 9 \u00bd inches, was cataloged as ’18th Century Italian School’, oil on canvas in a gilt and carved Florentine frame; it carried a modest estimate of \u00a3400 \u2013 600. Further, it was notated that “it has been suggested that this portrait depicts Batholomew Beale, the son of Mary Beale<\/em>, ” and that was all it took to spark enormous interest in the work.<\/p>\n

Mary Beale (1633 \u2013 1699) was an English portrait painter, one of just a small group of 17th-century female artists working in London; she became the primary financial provider for her family as she built a reputation for being a talented artist.<\/p>\n

As it turned out, it was a work by Mary Beale, and although it had some condition issues, interested buyers were not deterred – early online bidding ran the item up to \u00a320K. When the painting finally came up for sale, eight telephone bidders and several online bidders competed in a four-minute battle. A new auction record was achieved when the hammer struck, closing the deal at \u00a3100,000.<\/p>\n
