This artwork by Frederick Buck achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in May 2001. In the Objects of Vertu, Miniatures and Icons auction, the work Dr. William Bennet, Bishop of Cloyne, facing right in black coat and waistcoat, white collar, powdered wig sold for GBP 881.25 (€ 1,477.44) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Frederick Buck - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A young lady, facing right in ruffle bordered white silk dress, yellow sash, blue hat with yellow ribbon in her long curling brown hair, which sold at auction in June 2003 for GBP 2,987.50 (€ 4,293.20).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Frederick Buck erzielte im Mai 2001 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Objects of Vertu, Miniatures and Icons wurde die Arbeit Dr. William Bennet, Bishop of Cloyne, facing right in black coat and waistcoat, white collar, powdered wig für GBP 881,25 (€ 1.477,44) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 500,00.
