Catalogue Note
Artist's Inscription:
During the tenth month of the wuxu year (1958), I traveled south to Bangkok, where I ran into the elegant gentleman Ni Yingjun. He likes my painting and requested that I do an illustration of Su Wenzhong's 'Former Ode to the Red Cliff,' and also write out the poem.
