王季遷 一帆風順 設色紙本 冊頁

During a long career that spanned sixty-five
years, Alice Boney (1901-1988) achieved
prominence as a dealer of Chinese and
Japanese art. Her clients included public
institutions such as the Metropolitan Museum
of Art and the Freer Gallery, and she was
instrumental in building the Ming and Qing
porcelain collection of President Herbert H.
Hoover. In 1958, Ms. Boney embarked on a
journey to Japan, where she would eventually
reside for sixteen years before returning to
New York. This painting by Wang Jiqian
appears to have been a parting gift to Boney
with well wishes for a bright future.
