This artwork by Kenneth Rowntree achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in May 2014. In the A Green and Pleasant Land: Two Centuries of British Landscape Painting auction, the work The Middle Of The Wood sold for GBP 4,375.00 (€ 5,377.02) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Kenneth Rowntree - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Grove House, Levisham Evening, which sold at auction in December 2010 for GBP 10,000.00 (€ 11,599.97).
