This artwork by Alfred Morris achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in May 2004. In the British and Victorian Paintings auction, the work Sheep in a Highland landscape sold for GBP 1,912.00 (€ 2,868.70) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 800.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Alfred Morris; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Sheep and lambs with a sheep dog on a hillside sold at auction in March 2007 with the realized price of GBP 3,000.00 (€ 4,415.66).
