NOTE:
According to the previous auction catalogue in 2000, the original collector obtained the work directly from the artist himself.
“In late October 1977, Lin Fengmian moved to Hong Kong. Under the care of his cousin, Lin Ruxiang, he temporarily resided on the top floor of Chung Kiu Chinese Products Company on Nathan Road, Kowloon, and soon held an exhibition of his works at the company. The collector of this painting was a great admirer of Lin Fengmian’s art. Through an introduction, he visited Lin’s apartment to ask for paintings and chose this work as well as another landscape from Lin’s recent works in 1978-79.”
