In December 2020 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master and British Works on Paper, including Portrait Miniatures from the Pohl-Ströher Collection, which included the work Portrait of a lady, traditionally identified as Lady Rachael Tweeke by Horace Hone. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,386.00 (€ 1,548.29), 54% above the upper estimate.
