The work Enjoying the River and Streams by Zha Shibiao was worth HKD 3,365,000.00 (€ 368,680.99) to a buyer in July 2020. This price was achieved in the auction Fine Chinese Classical Paintings and Calligraphy at Christies in Hong Kong and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of HKD 700,000.00 many times over. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Zha Shibiao - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Visiting Friends In The Hill, which sold at auction in April this year for HKD 1,296,000.00 (€ 1,323,469.57).
