TANG LUMING (1804-1874)
Used the courtesy name Lemin, a native of Wujin (now Changzhou),
Jiangsu Province, and lived in Jinling (now Nanjing). The fourth son of
Tang Yifen, Tang Luming was an official in charge of salt transportation
in the Huai River area. He excelled in fine line figure paintings that
approached Li Gonglin’s work in elegance. He used old xuan paper to
paint beauty figures, and captured the beauty and elegant appearance
of women resting in peaceful surroundings. Tang’s paintings of flowers
and fruits were graceful and rich. He made many sketches of birds
and fish. Those who were knowledgeable deemed his paintings to be
above Fei Danxu’s in quality.

湯祿名（1804-1874）
字樂民，武進（今江蘇常州）人，寓金陵（今南京），湯貽汾四子，
官兩淮鹽運判。善白描人物，銀鈎鐵畫，雅近李公麟。工設色仕女，
以舊宣紙為之，明姿雅度，得靜女幽閒之態。尤擅花卉果實，秀潤欲
滴，禽魚随手點畫為多。識者定其畫品在費丹旭之上。
