Further details

The painting was originally collected by Wang Anfu (1913-2005) and Liu Huanzeng (1908-1989), the daughter and son-in-law of the eminent politician and diplomat of the Republic of China era, Dr Chengting T. Wang (Wang Zhengting, 1882-1961). Born in Ningbo and educated in Japan and the United States, Dr Wang was one of China’s delegates to the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 and held prominent government positions throughout the 1920s and the 1930s, including Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister of Finance. From 1936 to 1938, he served as the Chinese Ambassador to the United States, where Anfu often accompanied him to official dinners alongside with her sisters.
Upon returning to China, Dr Wang travelled extensively between Chengdu, Chongqing and Shanghai in the early 1940s. It was likely during this period that Anfu and Huanzeng became acquainted with Zhang Daqian, who was active in Chengdu and Chongqing following his expeditions to Dunhuang. Huanzeng’s father, Liu Shuping (1857-1917), was also a renowned scholar and educator. In the summer of 1944, the artist dedicated an elegant portrait of a lady to the young couple, noting that he inscribed the painting in his Chengdu studio. Dated 1945, the present painting was likely acquired by the couple around this time. In 1949, Dr Wang relocated to Hong Kong, where he continued to promote sports and the Olympic Games. Anfu and Huanzeng subsequently joined him and cared for him during his final years before moving to the United States. Dr Wang’s papers are now housed at Yale University thanks to a generous donation by Huanzeng, Anfu, and her siblings in the 1980s.
