This artwork by Lin Zhimian achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2018. In the Exquisite Eye: Chinese Paintings Online auction, the work Five-character Calligraphic Couplet in Clerical Script sold for HKD 35,000.00 (€ 3,950.37) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 12,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Lin Zhimian - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Calligraphy Couplet In Lishu, which sold at auction in April 2016 for HKD 81,250.00 (€ 9,154.03).
