11 ½ x 8 1/8 in. (29.2 x 20.7 cm.)

Upper estimate price exceeded by 42 %.

In July 2018 Christies in London held the auction Old Masters Day Sale, which included the work A forest floor with a lizard, a snake and a snail among weeds by Johann Falch. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 21,250.00 (€ 23,825.92), 42% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Johann Falch - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Two Forest Floors With A Snake, Lizard, Butterflies And Snails Amongst Weeds On A Riverbank, which sold at auction in December 2017 for GBP 43,750.00 (€ 49,234.22).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 42 % übertroffen

Im Juli 2018 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Masters Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit A forest floor with a lizard, a snake and a snail among weeds von Johann Falch zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 21.250,00 (€ 23.825,92) und damit 42% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Johann Falch mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Two Forest Floors With A Snake, Lizard, Butterflies And Snails Amongst Weeds On A Riverbank beobachtet, die im Dezember 2017 für GBP 43.750,00 (€ 49.234,22) versteigert wurde.
