The work Before the off; Over the hedge; and On the gallops by William Norman Gaunt was sold in the British and Continental Pictures auction at Christies in London in January 2005. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 900.00 (€ 1,300.10), 50% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Norman Gaunt - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A lady on a hunter in an extensive landscape, which sold at auction in June 2002 for GBP 2,115.00 (€ 3,271.43).
