Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Three Graces Garlanded With Roses by Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller was sold in the Master Paintings auction at Sothebys in New York in May 2021. The price achieved of USD 163,800.00 (€ 134,328.36) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 150,000.00 – 200,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Red and white grapes and silver tableware on a marble ledge, which sold at auction in July 2010 for GBP 301,250.00 (€ 362,219.18).
