This artwork by Stephen Pearce achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in May 2006. In the Sporting Art auction, the work Five Sketches of Foxhounds sold for GBP 11,760.00 (€ 17,165.77) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 5,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Stephen Pearce; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Mr. Radclyffe, Master Of The South Dorset Hounds, On His Hunter In A Landscape sold at auction in June 2001 with the realized price of USD 15,275.00 (€ 18,025.73).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
