Important private collection， Shanghai | Oct 2004， Sotheby’s Hong Kong Auction， Lot 317 | Private collection， AsiaPan Yuliang’s paintings rarely contained animal-based themes， with such pieces not numbering more than forty. Horses， cats， pigs， horses， penguins， and cows have all appeared in her art， but cattle was special among them in meaning， with her eldest son， Pan Mou， known as the “little cattle”.

Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2017 China Guardian in Hong Kong held the auction Asian 20th Century and Contemporary Art, which included the work Cows(Painted Approximately In Early 1940S) by Pan Yuliang. The price achieved of HKD 354,000.00 (€ 38,961.88) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 300,000.00 – 500,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Pan Yuliang achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Lady Bathers At The Seashore in October 2019 with an auction result of HKD 17,400,000.00 (€ 1,988,794.26).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2017 führte China Guardian in Hong Kong die Auktion Asian 20th Century and Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Cows(Painted Approximately In Early 1940S) von Pan Yuliang zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 354.000,00 (€ 38.961,88) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 300.000,00 – 500.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Pan Yuliang erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Lady Bathers At The Seashore im Oktober 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 17.400.000,00 (€ 1.988.794,26).
