Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Letters by Yuan Mei was sold in the Fine Classical Chinese Paintings auction at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2016. The price achieved of HKD 237,500.00 (€ 27,948.82) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 200,000.00 – 300,000.00. Admittedly, works by Yuan Mei have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Letters in March 2016 with an auction result of USD 212,500.00 (€ 186,567.16).
