ZHAO ZHIQIAN (1829-1884) Provenance
Calligraphy in regular and running script Far East Fine Arts, San Francisco, California, May 2003
Circular fan leaf, mounted and framed, ink on silk, inscribed and
signed Zhao Zhiqian, with a dedication to Naiqing and one seal of the 來源：
artist Zhao Huishu. 2003年5月購自美國加州舊金山遠東藝術中心
9¾ x 10in (24.6 x 25.4cm)
As stated in the artist’s inscription, the text is excerpted from the
$6,000 - 9,000 Rulin zhuan chapter of the Hou Han Shu, a history of the Han dynasty
written in the fifth century. Zhao Zhiqian’s script style is strongly derived
趙之謙 後漢書《儒林傳》 水墨絹本 扇面 鏡框 from that of the Northern Wei (386-534), with dramatic flaring strokes
and sharp edges. The likely recipient of this fan is Yu Naiqing, a
Hangzhou native who was close with Zhao Zhiqian.
