Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
The work An album of twelve botanical studies with insects by Youqua was worth GBP 6,000.00 (€ 6,939.64) to a buyer in September 2010. This price was achieved in the auction Travel, Science and Natural History at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Youqua - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Whampoa Anchorage, which sold at auction in January 2011 for USD 25,000.00 (€ 18,228.22).
