In January 2007 Christies in London held the auction From the Collection of King George I of the Hellenes, which included the work Portrait of Princess Louise-Charlotte von Hesse-Cassel (1789-1864), bust-length, in a black dress with white lace trim by Auguste Heinrich Georg Schiött.

Wichfeld (1800-1888), quarter-length, in a black suit with white shirt and a medal; and Portrait of V. Wichfeld (1822-1908), quarter-length, in a black dress with lace trim, a bow in her hair.
