The work A view of the weir in Lucan House Demesne, Co. Dublin, with an elegant couple seated under a tree in foreground by Thomas Roberts was sold in the THE IRISH SALE auction at Christies in London in May 2004. It achieved a price of GBP 156,450.00 (€ 234,732.63), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 56%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Thomas Roberts - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Sheet of Water at Carton Park, Co. Kildare, with the Duke and Duchess of Leinster out walking, and gardeners rolling a serpentine path in the foreground, which sold at auction in May 2000 for GBP 454,750.00 (€ 729,706.05).
