Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Children on a hill beside great oak trees by Josiah Wood Whymper was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2000. The price achieved of GBP 446.50 (€ 729.79) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 300.00 – 500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Josiah Wood Whymper - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The haymakers, which sold at auction in November 2000 for GBP 1,762.50 (€ 2,880.74).
