*Fivefold expansion, long enough.

• In-line references. I am unable to check the Chinese references.
• No copyright violation detected. Neutral tone.
• The hook is short enough, neutral and "hooky".

• Hi, I came by to promote this, but I was wondering why you're featuring a painting that is not pictured in the article? People who click on the hook will be disappointed. Yoninah (talk) 19:10, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

• Template:Re I'm featuring the painting in the hook because the meteoric rise in its value is the most striking fact about the artist. People will be disappointed no matter what when an artist's article does not include any of his works because of copyright laws. There's nothing we can do about that. -Zanhe (talk) 19:21, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

• Template:Ping OK. But when I looked for the selling price in the article, I see you called the painting by its Chinese name there. Also, wouldn't it be easier for English-readers to read "yuan" (or whatever the name of the currency is) rather than that complicated symbol? Can we write:
