Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Abigail Before King David by Friedrich Brentel was sold in the Old Master Drawings auction at Sothebys in New York in January 2020. The price achieved of USD 5,625.00 (€ 5,070.77) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Friedrich Brentel achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Ladies and cavaliers in a ballroom, after Abraham Bosse (Leblanc 771) in January 2000 with an auction result of USD 101,500.00 (€ 104,027.88).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Abigail Before King David von Friedrich Brentel wurde im Januar 2020 in der Auktion Old Master Drawings bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 5.625,00 (€ 5.070,77) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Friedrich Brentel erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Ladies and cavaliers in a ballroom, after Abraham Bosse (Leblanc 771) im Januar 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 101.500,00 (€ 104.027,88).
