This artwork by Wu Yisheng achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in November 2019. In the Exquisite Eye: Chinese Paintings Online auction, the work Zhong Kui Marrying off his Sister sold for HKD 35,000.00 (€ 4,059.35) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 20,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Wu Yisheng - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Peacocks, which sold at auction in May 2008 for HKD 112,500.00 (€ 9,261.73).
