Upper estimate price exceeded by 47 %.
In January 2021 Sothebys in New York held the auction Master Paintings Part II, which included the work The Shire Horse Elephant in an Extensive Landscape by James Ward. The »bidding war« ended at USD 44,100.00 (€ 36,341.16), 47% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by James Ward achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Terrier, Stoat And Dead Rabbit In A Rocky Landscape in November 2005 with an auction result of GBP 512,000.00 (€ 752,192.71).

Im Januar 2021 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Master Paintings Part II durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Shire Horse Elephant in an Extensive Landscape von James Ward zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 44.100,00 (€ 36.341,16) und damit 47% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von James Ward erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Terrier, Stoat And Dead Rabbit In A Rocky Landscape im November 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 512.000,00 (€ 752.192,71).
