Note du spécialiste

According to Wang Zhen's great-grandson, Wang Xiaofang, portraits of Ji Gong were rare in Wang Zhen's oeuvre, and he was known to have only painted three paintings with Ji Gong as a subject matter - one painting now housed at the Palace Museum, Beijing, another went missing, and the last is this present piece.
