Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price

The work Alm und Firn by Alfons Walde was worth USD 537,812.50 (€ 450,127.64) to a buyer in November 2020. This price was achieved in the auction Impressionist & Modern Art at Bonhams in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 100,000.00 many times over.
