The work Mrs John Scott, In White Off-The-Shoulder Dress, Green Sash With Gold Buckle, Hair Dressed In Ringlets: A Young Lady, In White Dress With Frilled Collar, Fair Hair Dressed In Ringlets; And A Gentleman, In Black Coat, White Waistcoat And Knotted Crava by Adam Buck was sold in the Irish Sale Part II auction at Christies in London in May 2006. It achieved a price of GBP 2,040.00 (€ 2,977.74), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 70%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Adam Buck - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A Naval Officer holding his sword under his right arm, facing right in blue coat with black facings, yellow trousers, frilled cravat and black stock, powdered hair en queue, which sold at auction in May 2002 for GBP 5,975.00 (€ 9,356.93).
