This artwork by Sheng Mao achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2021. In the Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy auction, the work Scholar Leaning against a Pine Tree sold for HKD 1,000,000.00 (€ 111,189.86) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 400,000.00.
