Upper estimate price exceeded by 50 %.
The work A design from the series Tosei yuri bijin awase Collection of beauties of the pleasure quarters, signed Kiyonaga ga, good impression and colour, soiled and rubbed by Torii Kiyonaga was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2010. It achieved a price of GBP 3,000.00 (€ 3,514.92), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 50%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Torii Kiyonaga achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work ROULEAU DE MANCHE (SODE NO MAKI ) in December 2018 with an auction result of EUR 125,000.00.
