This artwork by Cen Xuegong achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in February this year. In the Dawn of Spring – Chinese Paintings Online auction, the work Viewing Waterfall / Forest in Western Sichuan sold for HKD 44,100.00 (€ 5,299.32) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 25,000.00.
