Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Edo period (1615-1868), circa 1825 by Keisai Eisen was auctioned at Bonhams in London in November 2021. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 1,530.00 (€ 1,796.36). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Keisai Eisen achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Courtesan in September 2004 with an auction result of USD 23,900.00 (€ 19,247.81).

Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Courtesan im September 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 23.900,00 (€ 19.247,81).
