This artwork by Elizabeth Keith achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in London in September this year. In the Fine Japanese and Korean Art auction, the work Two Oversize Prints sold for USD 3,584.00 (€ 3,386.24) - well above the upper estimate of USD 1,500.00. Admittedly, works by Elizabeth Keith have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Hong Kong in July 2020 with an auction result of USD 18,750.00 (€ 15,924.92).
