This artwork by Xiao Lisheng achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in Hong Kong in October 2021. In the Chinese Paintings From the Yanqinzhai CollectionThe Online Sale auction, the work Scholar with Guqin sold for HKD 3,825.00 (€ 425.48) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 2,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Xiao Lisheng achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Sleeping Monk/Amitabha in May 2018 with an auction result of HKD 87,500.00 (€ 9,559.77).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Xiao Lisheng erzielte im Oktober 2021 bei Bonhams in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Chinese Paintings From the Yanqinzhai CollectionThe Online Sale wurde die Arbeit Scholar with Guqin für HKD 3.825,00 (€ 425,48) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 2.000,00.

Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Sleeping Monk/Amitabha im Mai 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 87.500,00 (€ 9.559,77).
