Artwork auctioned at 16 times the upper estimate price
The work Mountainous Landscape by Wen Dian was worth HKD 2,430,000.00 (€ 240,979.37) to a buyer in May 2013. 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 150,000.00 many times over.
