Upper estimate price exceeded by 25 %.
In January 2021 Christies in New York held the auction In Praise of America: Important American Furniture, Folk Art, Silver, Prints and Broadsides, which included the work Portrait of a Young Gentleman by Jacob Maentel. The »bidding war« ended at USD 5,000.00 (€ 4,120.31), 25% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Jacob Maentel have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A Pair of Portraits: Catherine Illig Waechter and her son, Jonathan in January 2002 with an auction result of USD 17,625.00 (€ 20,508.49).
