In November 2003 Christies in London held the auction SPORTING ART AND DOGS, which included the work Quality, a grey Shire horse in a paddock by Fred Thurlby. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 5,640.00 (€ 8,096.30), 61% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Fred Thurlby; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Stout, winner of 12 first and 8 second prizes at various shows; and Madam, winner of first prize at Viscount Tredegar's Show 1908 sold at auction in June 2003 with the realized price of GBP 8,225.00 (€ 11,819.77).

Im November 2003 führte Christies in London die Auktion SPORTING ART AND DOGS durch, in der auch die Arbeit Quality, a grey Shire horse in a paddock von Fred Thurlby zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 5.640,00 (€ 8.096,30) und damit 61% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Fred Thurlby; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Stout, winner of 12 first and 8 second prizes at various shows; and Madam, winner of first prize at Viscount Tredegar's Show 1908 im Juni 2003 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 8.225,00 (€ 11.819,77).
