Auction result misses estimated price range
In November 2008 a collector was able to acquire the work Happy Thoughts by Joseph Edward Worrall for GBP 2,500.00 (€ 3,022.69). This price was achieved in the auction A GREAT BRITISH COLLECTION: The pictures collected by Sir David and Lady Scott, sold to benefit the Finnis Scott Foundation at Sothebys in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00 set by the auction house. Admittedly, works by Joseph Edward Worrall have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Three-a-penny in March 2021 with an auction result of GBP 20,250.00 (€ 23,788.53).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im November 2008 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Happy Thoughts von Joseph Edward Worrall für GBP 2.500,00 (€ 3.022,69) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion A GREAT BRITISH COLLECTION: The pictures collected by Sir David and Lady Scott, sold to benefit the Finnis Scott Foundation bei Sothebys in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Joseph Edward Worrall auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Three-a-penny im März 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 20.250,00 (€ 23.788,53).
