Upper estimate price exceeded by 60 %.
In January 2021 Sothebys in London held the auction Royal & Noble, which included the work A black stallion in a landscape by Thomas Walker Bretland. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 4,788.00 (€ 5,414.56), 60% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Thomas Walker Bretland - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Hare Coursing, which sold at auction in June 2007 for USD 26,400.00 (€ 19,526.63).
