Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Countess Uhlfeld, in off-the-shoulder white dress, pink rose at corsage, a pink rose in her dressed dark hair; sky and cloud background by Moritz Michael Daffinger was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2007. The price achieved of GBP 4,375.00 (€ 6,126.13) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Moritz Michael Daffinger achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A highly important miniature of Countess Elisaveta Ksaver'evna Vorontsova (1792-1880), leaning on her left elbow resting on multi-coloured cashemere stoles, her hand raised to her face, in brown dress with lace underdress and lace sleeves, jewelled s in December 2003 with an auction result of GBP 50,190.00
