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.
