A top price for Adalbert Schäffer - as previously expected
The work A watermelon and other fruit by an ornamental ewer by Adalbert Schäffer was sold in the 19th Century European Art Including Russian Pictures auction at Christies in London in September 2006. The price achieved of GBP 4,200.00 (€ 6,195.89) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 3,500.00 – 4,500.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A watermelon and other fruit by an ornamental ewer is the most expensive artwork by Adalbert Schäffer that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit A watermelon and other fruit by an ornamental ewer von Adalbert Schäffer wurde im September 2006 in der Auktion 19th Century European Art Including Russian Pictures bei Christies in London versteigert.

Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist A watermelon and other fruit by an ornamental ewer das teuerste Kunstwerk von Adalbert Schäffer, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
