Upper estimate price exceeded by 63 %.
The work Austrian Bildnis Der Frau Wartfeld (Portrait Of Mrs Wartfeld) by Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller was sold in the European Paintings including German, Austrian & Central European Paintings and The Orientalist Sale auction at Sothebys in London in May 2008. It achieved a price of GBP 24,500.00 (€ 31,165.07), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 63%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Red and white grapes and silver tableware on a marble ledge in July 2010 with an auction result of GBP 301,250.00 (€ 362,219.18).

Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 24.500,00 (€ 31.165,07) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 63%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Red and white grapes and silver tableware on a marble ledge im Juli 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 301.250,00 (€ 362.219,18).
