A top price for Utagawa Yoshitsuya - as previously expected
The work Yorimitsu Tries to Capture Hakamadare by Destroying His Magic (Kijutsu o yabutte Yorimitsu Hakamadare o karamen to su) by Utagawa Yoshitsuya was sold in the From Artist to Woodblock: Japanese Prints auction at Christies in London in June 2020. The price achieved of GBP 5,000.00 (€ 5,506.63) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00.
