Upper estimate price exceeded by 57 %.

The work The wings of a triptych: Saint Christopher; and Saint James the Greater by Hans Memling was sold in the Old Master & 19th Century Paintings, Drawings & Watercolours Day auction at Christies in London in July 2010. It achieved a price of GBP 157,250.00 (€ 189,075.41), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 57%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Hans Memling achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Christ Blessing in February 2013 with an auction result of USD 4,114,500.00 (€ 3,145,882.71).
