Zhang Daqian (1899-1983), 'Secluded Dwelling by Lake and Mountain'. Length: 88.5 cm (34.84 in); Width: 42.5 cm (16.73 in). Hanging scroll, ink and colour on paper. This splendid blue-green landscape by Zhang Daqian features rolling distant mountains tinted with azurite and malachite washes, peaks veiled in drifting mist. The broad lake in the middle ground surges with meticulously outlined foaming waves. In the foreground stand gnarled ancient pines with dense needles, interspersed with bright red foliage. Thatched cottages nestle at the foot of hills, with a reclusive scholar faintly visible inside. Winding paths thread through woods, forming an idyllic hermitage scene. A seven-character poem in elegant, mature running script is inscribed at the top, accompanied by two red seals. Vivid yet refined in colour, the composition skilfully balances solid forms and empty space, integrating lake, surging waves and mountain dwellings, blending grandeur and tranquility. Mounted in original silk brocade, the aged paper remains in good condition.
