Color and ink on paper. Scholars. Inscribed and signed Zhang Yuan, with two seals of the artist. Framed. In August of 1945, Zhang Daqian (1899-1983) has completed Dunhuang trip and traveling to Lanzhou to prepare his first Dunhuang Frescoes art exhibition. Figure painting "Two Scholars Under the Pine Tree" was created at the time with Zhang’s unique iron-line drawing style which depicted the scholars lofty and noble spirit. This is a fine work of art because she represents the perfect balance between aesthetics and philosophy, visual arts and study of art, as well as inward feelings and outward objects. 張大千 松下高士圖 設色紙本
