Lot Essay

This painting is from a descendant of the Wang Yanjun family, with his collector’s seal stamped in the lower right corner of the painting. There is very little information available about Wang’s life, but according to his family, he was born in 1905 and was a successful businessman in Hong Kong during the mid-20th century. He frequently led delegations to visit Taiwan and received this Gao Qifeng painting as a gift during one of his visits.
