Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Calligraphy Couplet In Kaishu by Weng Tonghe was worth HKD 302,400.00 (€ 32,376.66) to a buyer in April 2021. This price was achieved in the auction Fine Chinese Paintings at Sothebys in Hong Kong and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of HKD 90,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Weng Tonghe - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Calligraphic Couplet in Running Script, which sold at auction in November 2017 for HKD 750,000.00 (€ 80,748.87).
