Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Hong Kong Harbour at night; and East Gate Seoul by Elizabeth Keith was worth GBP 5,250.00 (€ 6,438.98) to a buyer in April 2012. This price was achieved in the auction Travel, Science and Natural History at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Elizabeth Keith - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Hong Kong, which sold at auction in July 2020 for USD 18,750.00 (€ 15,924.92).
