NOTE:
During the summer months of 1958, Li Keran and Rammanohar made several excursions to different parts of China to study and paint diverse landscapes, including mountain ranges, summits, valleys, streams, sailboats, bridges, pavilions and the wilderness. They were often accompanied by students, mentees, and guides, as evidenced in the photograph. Li Keran sketched not just in pencil but also sometimes in ink. As a memorabilia of their excursions together, Li Keran gifted some of his sketchbooks to Rammanohar in sets of 10 sheets. This lot is part of the set.
