Length:120cm(47.24in) Width:63cmWang Xijing is a celebrated contemporary figure painter, well-known for portraits of ancient sages with concise brushwork and vivid depiction of temperament. This full-length portrait depicts Duke Yanlu (Yan Zhenqing). Wearing soft headwrap and a wide plain robe with a long beard, he bears a resolute and solemn expression. Holding a writing brush in one hand, resting the other, with a sword at his side, the painting conveys the integrity and loyalty of this scholar-official. The background is washed with broad ink tones to set off the figure. Robe outlines are rendered with forceful, varied brushstrokes; facial features are delicately portrayed. Inscription on the left: Portrait of Duke Yanlu, painted casually in Kuala Lumpur in winter of the Jiaxu year, Wang Xijing. Two seals affixed. The work carries a powerful, dignified atmosphere, capturing Yan Zhenqing’s unyielding integrity. Original old mounting.
