This artwork by George Smith of Chichester achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in October 2021. In the Old Master Paintings auction, the work A Drover And His Herd Crossing A Bridge sold for GBP 8,925.00 (€ 10,573.71) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Smith of Chichester - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A winter landscape with a haystack, cottages and figures, a river beyond; and A winter landscape with two figures crossing a wooden bridge, a village and a church beyond, which sold at auction in December 2011 for GBP 25,000.00 (€ 29,941.03).
