The work Mrs. Lear-Norwood, in profile to right, wearing a dress with frilled collar and a bonnet by John Field was auctioned at Christies in London in March 2004. It achieved a price of GBP 262.90 (€ 393.54), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 31%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Field - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Admiral Viscount Horatio Nelson (1758-1805), which sold at auction in October 2005 for GBP 780.00 (€ 1,150.26).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 31 % übertroffen
