Sold at the lower estimate price
The work The Sleeping Shepherd by William Mulready was sold in the The Nicolette Wernick Collection British Watercolours and Paintings (1800-1950) auction at Christies in London in June 2010.

Admittedly, works by William Mulready have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Boys Fishing in December 2014 with an auction result of GBP 30,000.00 (€ 38,619.95).
