This artwork by Do Quang Em achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in Hong Kong in April 2008. In the An Important Collection of Vietnamese Paintings Featuring The Philip Ng Collection auction, the work Portrait Of A Lady sold for HKD 271,500.00 (€ 22,375.03) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 150,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Do Quang Em; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Portrait Of Quen sold at auction in October this year with the realized price of HKD 204,800.00 (€ 24,766.69).
