Provenance: Collection of Dr. Lubor Hájek (1921-2000) and thence by descent in the same family. A Czech private collection, acquired from the above in 2010. Dr. Lubor Hájek was a Czech art historian. In 1952 he founded the Oriental Art collection of the National Gallery Prague, which he ran until 1986.

Zhao Shao'ang (1905-1988) is considered one of the Four Great Masters of the Lingnan School. In the late 19th century, scholars in China broke through entrenched conservative thought schools and began to create and promote new styles of art. This not only cultivated ideological progress within social elites but also gave birth to the eclectic fusion of the Han Chinese and Western styles, as advocated by the Lingnan School, which today is considered - along with the Beijing and Shanghai schools - as one of the three pillars of modern Chinese painting.
Auction result comparison: Compare with a related hanging scroll of the same subject by the same artist (45 x 96 cm) at Christie’s Hong Kong in Fine Chinese Modern and Contemporary Ink Paintings on 1 December 2020, lot 1058, sold for HKD 275,000, and a closely related painting of the same subject by the same artist (58.5 x 93.8 cm) at Sotheby’s Hong Kong in Fine Chinese Paintings on 3 April 2012, lot 1175, sold for HKD 860,000.
