James Stunt arrives at the High Court

A bankrupt British socialite and art dealer is in a High Court dispute over whether he is the owner of a centuries-old painting. James Stunt, the former son-in-law of ex-Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone, was declared bankrupt in June 2019. A trial in London heard he purchased Sir Anthony Van Dyck’s portrait, The Cheeke Sisters, in 2013 for £600,000, but his father, Geoffrey Stunt, has since claimed ownership of the artwork which is now valued at up to £4 million. Barristers for the trustees of James Stunt’s bankruptcy claim he owns the painting, but James and Geoffrey Stunt claim that Geoffrey owns the artwork.
