In May 2005 Christies in London held the auction THE IRISH SALE, which included the work A Wooded River Landscape With Travellers On A Bridge, Women Winnowing, And A Labourer By A Mill In The Foreground by Thomas Roberts. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 72,000.00 (€ 106,294.60), 44% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Thomas Roberts have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Sheet of Water at Carton Park, Co. Kildare, with the Duke and Duchess of Leinster out walking, and gardeners rolling a serpentine path in the foreground in May 2000 with an auction result of GBP 454,750.00 (€ 729,706.05).

Im Mai 2005 führte Christies in London die Auktion THE IRISH SALE durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Wooded River Landscape With Travellers On A Bridge, Women Winnowing, And A Labourer By A Mill In The Foreground von Thomas Roberts zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 72.000,00 (€ 106.294,60) und damit 44% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Thomas Roberts auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Sheet of Water at Carton Park, Co. Kildare, with the Duke and Duchess of Leinster out walking, and gardeners rolling a serpentine path in the foreground im Mai 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 454.750,00 (€ 729.706,05).
