The work Canton, a view of the hongs after; and A view of Whampoa Anchorage by Sunqua was sold in the Old Masters and 19th Century Art auction at Christies in Amsterdam in May 2011. The »bidding war« ended at EUR 22,500.00 50% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Sunqua - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Hongs of Canton, showing the French, American, British and Dutch flags, which sold at auction in May this year for GBP 60,480.00 (€ 70,368.88).
