Upper estimate price exceeded by 64 %.
The work Potrait of a courtesan by Katsukawa Shunsho II was sold in the Japanese and Korean Art auction at Christies in Los Angeles in September this year. The »bidding war« ended at USD 3,276.00 (€ 3,095.24), 64% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Katsukawa Shunsho II; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Minamoto no Yoshinaka Shitenno to tomoni Kiso no okuyama ni Tengu o taiji su (Minamoto Yoshinaka and His Four Retainers Defeat the Tengu in the Deep Mountains of Kiso) sold at auction in May this year with the realized price of GBP 3,840.00 (€ 4,467.87).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 64 % übertroffen
