According to the present collector, the artist gave the work directly to their mother. The collector’s mother was a well-regarded master of embroidery arts and crafts in China. She worked at the Shanghai Arts and Crafts Institute and is a native of Zhejiang. Christie's Hong Kong presented another work from the same collection - Bamboo Valley (Lot 1368) in its 2016 Spring Auction. Both works bear the artist’s personally inscribed title slips.
