Sold at the upper estimate price
The work A Lion by Paul Friedrich Meyerheim was sold in the 19th Century European & Orientalist Art auction at Christies in London in December 2016. The auction ended at the price of GBP 15,000.00 (€ 17,537.43), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Admittedly, works by Paul Friedrich Meyerheim have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work German Sideshow Tricks in April 2008 with an auction result of USD 229,000.00 (€ 147,096.61).
