Sold at the lower estimate price
The work Portrait of a nobleman and his wife, with a servant stoking the fire by Wenceslaus Wehrlin was sold in the Old Master & British Pictures (Day Sale) auction at Christies in London in December 2008. The result of GBP 15,000.00 (€ 15,754.36) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 15,000.00 – 25,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wenceslaus Wehrlin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Concert; and The Artist's Studio, which sold at auction in October 2007 for USD 49,000.00 (€ 33,867.85).
