Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Portrait of a Man wearing a blue smock, holding a string of beads (thought to be a self portrait) by Lam Qua was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2019. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 12,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 13,750.00 (€ 16,145.86). Admittedly, works by Lam Qua have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The verandah of Nathaniel Kinsman's residence at Macao, looking across the Praya Grande; and Nathaniel Kinsman's residence at Macao, seen from the Praya Grande in December 2016 with an auction result of GBP 62,500.00 (€ 73,072.64).
