Upper estimate price exceeded by 58 %.

The work Sheep shearing in the Strath by George Smith, RSA was sold in the Victorian and British Impressionist Art auction at Christies in London in June 2010. It achieved a price of GBP 2,375.00 (€ 2,888.22), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 58%.
