Catalogue Note
Artist's inscription:
I am ever jealous of Tao Pengze, who in poverty pleased himself with chrysanthemums. Now that the Double Ninth Festival has come, I realize I must repay my wine debts. The thirtieth day of the sixth month of the sixty-third year of the Republican era (1974). Old Yuan has been sick for three months and almost died. Today, suddenly feeling relieved, he attempts a few brush strokes. Observing him from the side, his family members see no sign of illness at all.
