In September 2016 Christies in London held the auction Brian Sewell - Critic & Collector, which included the work A landscape with rocky cascades, and two female figures with dogs by Wilhelm Friedrich Gmelin. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,875.00 (€ 2,171.48), 56% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wilhelm Friedrich Gmelin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Blick auf den Lago Albano und den Palazzo Chigi mit der Kirche Santa Maria Assunta in Ariccia., which sold at auction in November 2015 for EUR 8,125.00.
