HUANG ZHOU (1925-1997)

The current owner, Guorong, was in charge of replacing all the aluminum doors and windows in the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in Beijing in the 1980s. By chance, Mr. Zhai Yintang, the chief of the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse at the time, introduced Huang Zhou to him. He replaced the aluminum windows in Huang Zhou’s home. After completion, he was given this painting as a gift.
