PROVENANCE
Acquired directly from the Artist by Mr. Wong Sung Ki (1903-1969), Hong Kong, 1946
By descent to the present Private Collection, Toronto


Ink and colour on paper, mounted as hanging scrolls. Each signed Lu Zishu, with inscriptions and a total of nine artist seals. Dated bingxu (1946), with a dedication to Mr. Wong Sung Kei on the last scroll. Each landscape was painted in the style of a Ming or Qing Dynasty master, as specified in the inscriptions.

Born in Canton, China, Mr. WSK moved to Hong Kong in his early years, where he established an import-export business. Residing in Causeway Bay, he built a significant collection of Chinese paintings, acquiring works directly from renowned 20th-century masters, including Huang Binhong and Pu Ru (1896–1963). A Huang Binhong handscroll from the family collection, Qushui zhi bin, was sold for HKD $2,300,000 at China Guardian, Hong Kong, in 2014.

Please note: the dimensions listed are for the images of the painting. Each scroll measures 64 1/4 x 14 5/8 inches.
