Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2006 Christies in New York held the auction Orientalist Art, 19th Century European Art, which included the work Six Figural Studies including Studies of a Woman's Head, the Sleeve of a Dress, and a kneeling Warrior and Drapery Studies by Franz Simm. It changed hands for a price of USD 7,800.00 (€ 6,106.63) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 6,000.00 – 8,000.00. Admittedly, works by Franz Simm have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Austrian Life In The Harem in April 2008 with an auction result of USD 85,000.00 (€ 54,599.18).
