Auction result well in line with expectations

The work No. 1, Newly hatched silkworms by Kikukawa Eizan was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2020. The price achieved of GBP 1,500.00 (€ 1,651.99) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,200.00 – 1,800.00.
