NOTE:
The recipient was Yao Yuqin (1867-1961). Born Jingying and styled Yuyin, Yao was a renowned Chinese painter and connoisseur from Tingzhi, Yuhang, Zhejiang Province. He spent his childhood in his hometown of Tingzhi, later traveling extensively across the country amidst turbulent times before eventually settling in Shanghai. From a young age, Yao was deeply devoted to poetry and painting and later gained fame in Jiangnan for his orchid paintings. His work drew inspiration from artists of the Ming dynasty, tracing back to Yuan masters Zhao Mengfu and Zheng Suonan. His style was distinguished by its classical purity, graceful elegance, and a balanced harmony of strength and delicacy, embodying a rich literati spirit.
