Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait Of A Gentleman, Half-Length, Wearing A Gold Chain by Wolfgang Heimbach was sold in the Old Masters Online | Part I: Property from the SØR Rusche Collection | Part II: Property from Various Owners auction at Sothebys in London in September 2019. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 5,000.00 – 7,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 5,250.00 (€ 5,924.00) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Wolfgang Heimbach have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Equestrian portrait of a gentleman, full-length, in armour, a baton in his right hand, a landscape with a cavalry skirmish beyond in July 2002 with an auction result of GBP 21,510.00 (€ 34,309.28).
