Wu Taochan (吳逃襌) hailed from Wuxing in Zhejiang province. He
associated and painted with Wang Zhen, Ni Tian, and Ren Bonian
when he lived in Shanghai during the beginning of the 20th century.
In his inscription, Wu noted that he was inspired by the paintings of
Tang Yin, although his figure and landscape manner clearly exhibits
characteristics of the Shanghai School.
