Description
In the style of Zhang Daqian (1899–1983), mountain landscape, 1933
Ink and light colours on paper, mounted as a kakemono, depicting a landscape of rugged mountains, arranged in a vertical composition, with tall rock formations rendered as steep, overlapping masses, punctuated by pine trees and a few architectural elements suggesting buildings or pavilions set amongst the landscape. The various mountain planes are rendered using ink washes and touches of brownish and greenish colours, with misty effects leaving certain parts of the support deliberately unpainted, whilst the lower section is dominated by a large rocky outcrop surmounted by pine trees. A calligraphic inscription in the top right-hand corner comprises a poem followed by a date in the cyclical calendar and a signature, accompanied by two red seals. The inscription reads: ??????,? / ??????? / ??????? / ??????? / ???? / ?????? / ????? and might be translated as: “Returning from Mount Heng, my breath calms of its own accord; / once more, I sail upon the Yellow Sea and dream of Tiandu. / In the world of men, rat’s liver and insect’s limb, / I gather nature’s vitality to infuse it into the painting. / One spring day in the year Guiyou (??), / Zhang Daqian, a man of Shu, / painted at the Dafengtang”. The painting has a white silk mount with numerous foxing spots.
