The work Three portrait studies of Burmese figures (3) by Mg Tun Hla was auctioned at Bonhams in London in June this year. It achieved a price of GBP 1,152.00 (€ 1,340.73), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 44%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mg Tun Hla - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Shwedagon Pagoda, which sold at auction in April 2021 for HKD 35,700.00 (€ 3,822.24).
