In July 2014 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master & British Paintings Evening Sale, which included the work 'Tygers At Play' by George Stubbs. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 7,698,500.00 (€ 9,710,229.01), 28% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Stubbs - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Gimcrack on Newmarket Heath, with a trainer, a jockey and a stable lad, which sold at auction in July 2011 for GBP 22,441,250.00 (€ 25,754,691.64).
