Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
The work The Battle against Time and Death by Friedrich Brentel was worth USD 12,600.00 (€ 11,741.68) to a buyer in May last year. This price was achieved in the auction Master Paintings and Drawings Part II at Sothebys in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 3,000.00 many times over. Admittedly, works by Friedrich Brentel have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Ladies and cavaliers in a ballroom, after Abraham Bosse (Leblanc 771) in January 2000 with an auction result of USD 101,500.00 (€ 104,027.88).
