This artwork by Wang Dong achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in December 2020. In the On Wings of Song: Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy from the Collection of Robert van Gulik auction, the work Red Plum Blossom sold for HKD 21,250.00 (€ 2,241.41) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 8,000.00.

Dieses Kunstwerk von Wang Dong erzielte im Dezember 2020 bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion On Wings of Song: Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy from the Collection of Robert van Gulik wurde die Arbeit Red Plum Blossom für HKD 21.250,00 (€ 2.241,41) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 8.000,00.
