The inscription on the side of the painting mentions that

Haisu (1896-1994) in 1931. Liu Haisu is considered among
the pioneers of Chinese modern art, and he was among the
four men who earned the title of “The Four Great Academy
Presidents”: Lin Fengmian, Xu Beihong, Liu Haisu, and Yan
Wenliang. These artists were revered in the early Republican
Era due to their effective stewardship of the Hangzhou
National School of Fine Art, the Art Department of Central
University, the Shanghai Academy of Arts, and the Soochow
College of Art respectively.
