Sold at the lower estimate price
The work 'Starling', a Grey Racehorse, by 'Bay Bolton', Held by a Groom, in a Landscape by Thomas Spencer was auctioned at Christies in New York in June 2020. The result of USD 30,000.00 (€ 26,711.78) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Thomas Spencer - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Flying Childers, which sold at auction in December 2019 for GBP 52,500.00 (€ 62,048.86).

Für andere Arbeiten von Thomas Spencer mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Flying Childers beobachtet, die im Dezember 2019 für GBP 52.500,00 (€ 62.048,86) versteigert wurde.
