This artwork by William Delacour achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in October 2021. In the Old Master Paintings auction, the work Figures and a horse at a fountain in a woodland clearing sold for GBP 21,500.00 (€ 25,471.69) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 10,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Delacour - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work An extensive landscape with elegant company by a fountain in a wooded glade, which sold at auction in April 2006 for GBP 40,800.00 (€ 58,885.93).
