This artwork by Qian Zai achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2013. In the Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy auction, the work Orchids And Rocks sold for HKD 137,500.00 (€ 13,036.53) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 50,000.00. Admittedly, works by Qian Zai have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Plum Blossoms In Ink in May 2005 with an auction result of HKD 1,200,000.00 (€ 124,965.58).
