Provenance
The collection was lovingly amassed in a relatively short time, between 1956 and 1959. The collectors, who were diplomats stationed in Beijing, recall fondly their nearly daily trips to antique markets and dealers in Beijing, which led to a long-lasting and reliable cooperation. The collectors, who were drawn by every aspect of Chinese culture, spent all their free time learning about China, collecting art and also learning to paint in the Chinese tradition.
