The work Master Hornblow, in blue silk dress with lace collar, short blond hair by William Maw Egley was sold in the IMPORTANT GOLD BOXES,OBJECTS OF VERTU & PORTRAIT MINIATURES auction at Christies in London in May 2004. It achieved a price of GBP 1,015.75 (€ 1,524.00), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 69%.
