This artwork by Yong Rong achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in Hong Kong in October 2017. In the Fine Classical Chinese Paintings auction, the work Calligraphy After Song Masters sold for HKD 187,500.00 (€ 20,636.59) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 80,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Yong Rong - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Scholar’S Rock, which sold at auction in May 2021 for HKD 750,000.00 (€ 79,280.79).
