Carl Ludwig Becker (German, 1820-1900)

oil on canvas
29 x 25 in. (73.6 x 63.5 cm.)

Upper estimate price exceeded by 51 %.

The work Behind the curtain by Carl Ludwig Becker was auctioned at Christies in London in April 2001. It achieved a price of GBP 5,287.50 (€ 8,524.11), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 51%. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Carl Ludwig Becker; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Emperor Maximilian at Verona receiving the Venetian Ambassador sold at auction in June 2012 with the realized price of USD 11,875.00 (€ 9,374.01).
