Upper estimate price exceeded by 72 %.
The work A Lady of Hue by Le Van De was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2016. It achieved a price of HKD 687,500.00 (€ 79,462.28), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 72%. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Le Van De; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Mother And Child sold at auction in October 2018 with the realized price of HKD 1,062,500.00 (€ 119,639.08).
