PROVENANCE

Acquired directly from the artist, and thence by descent.
As shown in letters to Lin Yutang (1895-1976), in 1947
Xu Beihong actively solicited help for his friend Wang
Yachen (1894-1983), who was charged with overseeing an
exhibition sponsored by the Chinese government in New
York at the Metropolitan Museum. As Consul General in
New York at the time, Lu Xinyu would have been closely
connected with the project.

負責由中國政府資助在紐約大都會博物館所舉辦的展
