The work A groom with a grey racehorse; and A groom with a chestnut racehorse by James Seymour was worth GBP 27,500.00 (€ 34,051.55) to a buyer in June 2012. This price was achieved in the auction Sporting and Wildlife Art at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 8,000.00 many times over.
