Sold at the upper estimate price
The work Peony by Empress Dowager Cixi was sold in the Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy auction at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2017. The auction ended at the price of HKD 300,000.00 (€ 32,299.55), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of HKD 250,000.00 – 300,000.00. Admittedly, works by Empress Dowager Cixi have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Lotus, Root and Seed in May 2013 with an auction result of HKD 3,150,000.00 (€ 312,380.66).
