Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Adam Styka achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in London in November 2020. In the British and European Art auction, the work Nude embracing a statue of Hermes sold for GBP 14,000.00 (€ 15,628.72) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Adam Styka achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A negotiation in October 2021 with an auction result of GBP 137,750.00 (€ 163,196.55).
