Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Utagawa Sadakage I achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in London in May this year. In the From Harunobu to Hasui | Japanese Prints across the centuries auction, the work Musashi sono yon sold for GBP 5,120.00 (€ 5,957.15) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 2,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Utagawa Sadakage I; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot A courtesan styling her hair in front of a mirror sold at auction in July 2018 with the realized price of GBP 6,250.00 (€ 7,007.62).
