This artwork by Edward Roper achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in Melbourne in August 2007. In the Important Australian Art Including Selected International Works auction, the work English Aboriginal Corroboree sold for AUD 31,200.00 (€ 18,656.87) - well above the upper estimate of AUD 15,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Edward Roper - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Goldfields Of Australia, Ararat, which sold at auction in February 2019 for GBP 32,500.00 (€ 37,912.38).

In der Auktion Important Australian Art Including Selected International Works wurde die Arbeit English Aboriginal Corroboree für AUD 31.200,00 (€ 18.656,87) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von AUD 15.000,00.
