This artwork by Emperor Xuantong achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in April 2002. In the The Imperial Sale, Fine Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art auction, the work Bird And Chrysanthemum sold for HKD 155,350.00 (€ 22,123.83) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 80,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Emperor Xuantong; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Five-Character Poem in Running Script sold at auction in November 2019 with the realized price of HKD 250,000.00 (€ 28,995.37).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 94 % übertroffen
