Upper estimate price exceeded by 26 %.
The work Half Length Portrait of a soldier, traditionally identified as Le Comte Francois Khevenhüller-Metsch by Josef Kriehuber was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May last year. It achieved a price of USD 1,008.00 (€ 939.33), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 26%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Josef Kriehuber achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of Baron von Tettenborn in June 2008 with an auction result of GBP 8,750.00 (€ 11,060.29).

Die Arbeit Half Length Portrait of a soldier, traditionally identified as Le Comte Francois Khevenhüller-Metsch von Josef Kriehuber kam im Mai letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 1.008,00 (€ 939,33) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 26%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Josef Kriehuber erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of Baron von Tettenborn im Juni 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 8.750,00 (€ 11.060,29).
