A top price for Carl Becker - as previously expected
The work German Junge Dame Am Kamin Sitzend (The Fireside Story) by Carl Becker was auctioned at Sothebys in London in May 2008. The price achieved of GBP 6,875.00 (€ 8,745.30) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 6,000.00 – 8,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, German Junge Dame Am Kamin Sitzend (The Fireside Story) is the most expensive artwork by Carl Becker that we have observed at auctions so far.
