Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Dwelling in Autumn Mountains by Weng Tonghe was worth HKD 17,850.00 (€ 1,985.57) to a buyer in October 2021. This price was achieved in the auction Chinese Paintings From the Yanqinzhai CollectionThe Online Sale at Bonhams in Hong Kong and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of HKD 5,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Weng Tonghe achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Calligraphic Couplet in Running Script in November 2017 with an auction result of HKD 750,000.00 (€ 80,748.87).
