In March 2004 Christies in London held the auction British and Victorian including Scottish Paintings, which included the work A prize bull in a field by William Henry Davis. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 5,019.00 (€ 7,512.98), 67% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by William Henry Davis have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Colonel Newport Charlett's Favourite Greyhounds, at Hanley Court, Worcestershire in December 2020 with an auction result of GBP 56,250.00 (€ 62,836.26).
