Somnambulist Sold

I mentioned Bolton Council's forthcoming sale of John Everett Millais' The Somnambulist a few days ago (CLICK). It fetched £74,400 at Bonhams auction today, less than the estimated value of £80,000 to £100,000. The council bought The Somnambulist in 1969 for £400. So it has made a handsome profit; but who owns it now and will it ever been seen by the British public again?
