The work Urchins playing pitch-a-top (recto) and Sheep grazing beneath a tree (verso) by Thomas Barker was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2001. It achieved a price of GBP 646.25 (€ 1,044.43), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 29%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Barker achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Roman Capriccio With Figures, The Colosseum Beyond in April 2008 with an auction result of GBP 23,300.00 (€ 29,704.21).

Die Arbeit Urchins playing pitch-a-top (recto) and Sheep grazing beneath a tree (verso) von Thomas Barker kam im Oktober 2001 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 646,25 (€ 1.044,43) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 29%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Barker erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Roman Capriccio With Figures, The Colosseum Beyond im April 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 23.300,00 (€ 29.704,21).
