PROPERTY FROM THE COLLECTION OF BRETON AND LOUISE PENMAN (LOT 1276) Originally from New Zealand, Breton (1927-2016) and Louise Penman resided in Hong Kong for over fifty years, during which they befriended John Lok Hsiao-pei (1921-2015) and his wife Tan Kwan-yuan. Both Breton and John were important figures in the architectural and construction industry; they collaborated in several projects such as Mei Fu Sun Chuen and Harbour City. John Lok was art enthusiast who established the Chee Kim Tong Arts Centre in 1980, which showcased Chinese ink paintings as well as Victorian oil paintings. This current painting was gifted to the Penmans by John Lok in 1981 and was cherished for over three decades.
