NOTE: In this extraordinary sketch, the artist depicts an elegant lady and two scholars with simple brushstrokes, and what appears to be an outline of a bird with rhythmic dots. The amusing inscription reads: ‘June 29th, xinhai year (1971), today marks the second day I try out contact lenses’. He further inscribed it ten years later for Zhang Xinjia, noting that it was a litte 'ink play' - perhaps a reminder of a happy afternoon in the studio in Taiwan.
