Zhang Daqian (1899-1983), 'A View of the Autumn River'. Length: 76.5 cm (30.12 in); Width: 42.5 cm (16.73 in). Hanging scroll, ink and colour on paper. This is a heavy colour blue-green landscape by Zhang Daqian, depicting a serene autumn river scene. Distant rolling hills are painted with azurite and malachite green, the hilltops dotted with crimson red autumn leaves, conveying rich autumn charm. The vast river is laid with light ochre wash; on the water floats a small boat carrying two scholars enjoying the scenery. Lush trees cluster along the near bank, pines and varied foliage rendered in vermilion, indigo and ink, with gorgeous colours. A robed scholar stands on a forest path, quietly admiring the autumn river landscape. A seven-character poem is inscribed on the upper left, dated the Mid-Autumn of Wuwu, signed Daqian Yuan, with two artist seals. Drawing upon the blue-green landscape tradition of the Song and Yuan dynasties and infused with Zhang Daqian's distinctive colouring style, the painting features bright yet refined hues and a spacious, tranquil composition. Poetry and painting complement each other, fully embodying the refined charm of literati landscape painting. Mounted in original silk brocade hanging scroll, well preserved.
