This artwork by Carl Gustav Carus achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in February 2018. In the Master Paintings and Sculpture Day Sale auction, the work Mountain Landscape At Dusk sold for USD 106,250.00 (€ 87,011.71) - well above the upper estimate of USD 50,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Carl Gustav Carus - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work „Phantasie aus der Alpenwelt“., which sold at auction in June 2015 for EUR 225,000.00.
