Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2021 Sothebys in London held the auction Japanese Woodblock Prints | Including the Sokolov Collection, which included the work Haze on a Clear Day at Nihonbashi Bridge (Nihonbashi seiran) by Utagawa Toyohiro. It changed hands for a price of GBP 1,386.00 (€ 1,612.64) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00.
