This artwork by Zeng Xi achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in June 2020. In the Exquisite Eye: Chinese Paintings Online auction, the work Wuxi Creek Scenery sold for HKD 137,500.00 (€ 15,793.34) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 70,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Zeng Xi - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Calligraphy, which sold at auction in October 2019 for HKD 375,000.00 (€ 42,861.95).
