Upper estimate price exceeded by 42 %.
In January 2018 Sothebys in New York held the auction The Otto Naumann Sale, which included the work A Dead Stag, With Sketched Figures Of A Ghillie And Hounds by Edwin Henry Landseer. The »bidding war« ended at USD 212,500.00 (€ 170,984.87), 42% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Edwin Henry Landseer achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work 'Scene in Chillingham Park: Portrait of Lord Ossulston', or 'Death of the Wild Bull' in February 2003 with an auction result of GBP 1,271,650.00 (€ 1,856,568.89).

Im Januar 2018 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion The Otto Naumann Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Dead Stag, With Sketched Figures Of A Ghillie And Hounds von Edwin Henry Landseer zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 212.500,00 (€ 170.984,87) und damit 42% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Edwin Henry Landseer erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit 'Scene in Chillingham Park: Portrait of Lord Ossulston', or 'Death of the Wild Bull' im Februar 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.271.650,00 (€ 1.856.568,89).
