Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
The work The escapee, a golden eagle in mid-flight by Joseph Wolf was worth GBP 7,200.00 (€ 10,863.15) to a buyer in January 2007. This price was achieved in the auction Property From Encombe, Dorset & La Chasse, Jersey at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Joseph Wolf achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work 120 original drawings of animals in May last year with an auction result of GBP 119,700.00 (€ 140,815.66).
