Zhang Daqian (1899-1983), 'A Lady Offering Flowers'. Length: 109 cm (42.91 in); Width: 54 cm (21.26 in). Ink and color on paper. This is an early meticulous figure painting by Zhang Daqian. It depicts an ancient lady standing gracefully, flower pinned in her coiffure, with delicate and gentle facial features rendered in fine lines. She holds a red tray with an archaic bronze patterned vase, in which several peonies bloom in pink and purple with fresh leaves. The layered robes are outlined in iron-wire line drawing, colored elegantly in blue, white and pale green, with exquisite subtle patterns on fabric. There are two poetic inscriptions on the painting: regular script poem by Xu Bangda at upper right and a long poem handwritten by Zhang Daqian at lower left, each accompanied by seals. Following the tradition of Gai Qi and Fei Danxu's figure painting, the work boasts precise linework and refined hues, full of antique charm. Aged paper, originally mounted silk hanging scroll, well preserved.
