Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Tending to the fire by Carl Ludwig Becker was auctioned at Christies in Amsterdam in June 2002. The price achieved of EUR 2,987.50 was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as EUR 2,500.00 – 3,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Carl Ludwig Becker - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Emperor Maximilian at Verona receiving the Venetian Ambassador, which sold at auction in June 2012 for USD 11,875.00 (€ 9,374.01).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Tending to the fire von Carl Ludwig Becker kam im Juni 2002 bei Christies in Amsterdam zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von EUR 2.987,50 lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit EUR 2.500,00 – 3.500,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Carl Ludwig Becker mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Emperor Maximilian at Verona receiving the Venetian Ambassador beobachtet, die im Juni 2012 für USD 11.875,00 (€ 9.374,01) versteigert wurde.
