Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Sphinx by the Sea by Karl Wilhelm Diefenbach was auctioned at Christies in New York in June 2020. The price achieved of USD 30,000.00 (€ 26,711.78) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 25,000.00 – 35,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Karl Wilhelm Diefenbach - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Nächtliches Bad bei den Faraglioni., which sold at auction in November 2019 for EUR 67,500.00.
