Sold at the upper estimate price

The work Kitao Masayoshi (1764-1824) by Nishimura Shigenaga was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2009. The auction ended at the price of GBP 500.00 (€ 547.19), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of GBP 450.00 – 500.00.
