The work Boating across the River by Shen Zhou was worth HKD 6,125,000.00 (€ 710,386.60) to a buyer in November 2019. This price was achieved in the auction Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy at Christies in Hong Kong and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of HKD 400,000.00 many times over.
