Note du spécialiste

The recipient of this work was Mr. Yu Zhonglie (1928-2006), a younger cousin of Zhang Daqian. Yu was born in Shanghai and later studied economics, receiving his PhD in Europe.
Yu often met with Zhang Daqian during Zhang’s overseas travelling exhibitions. He even visited Zhang at home at ‘Bade Yuan’ and Carmel on several occasions. In 1967, Yu visited Zhang Daqian for the last time at Carmel. This work was created and dedicated to ‘Zhonglie’ by Zhang Daqian as a farewell gift.
