FURTHER DETAILS
This fan collection includes works by artists of different periods and from various schools. The subject matter is extensive and rich. Particularly works of the Lingnan School, some of them dedicated to the same collector, which shows the friendship between the painter and the collector at that time. In this hot summer day, it is a great pleasure to enjoy the calligraphy, flowers and birds on the fan, and be chilled in between the mountains and rivers.
