A top price for Peter Ernst Rockstuhl
When the work Count Keller, in profile to left, in military uniform of black coat with gold lace and gold-bordered red collar, gold and black shoulder belt by Peter Ernst Rockstuhl was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2007, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 800.00 but the actual price achieved was more than ten times as high at GBP 8,750.00 (€ 12,252.26). This high result makes Count Keller, in profile to left, in military uniform of black coat with gold lace and gold-bordered red collar, gold and black shoulder belt the most expensive artwork by Peter Ernst Rockstuhl that we have observed at auctions so far.
