This artwork by Fan Zeng achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in May last year. In the Fine Chinese Modern and Contemporary Ink Paintings auction, the work Portrait of Su Dongpo sold for HKD 2,016,000.00 (€ 239,342.47) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 800,000.00. Admittedly, works by Fan Zeng have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Finishing Touch of the Dragon Eye in August last year with an auction result of HKD 17,700,000.00 (€ 2,240,417.29).
