錢鏡塘「數青草堂」舊藏
李宇超「倚琴樓」舊藏
本幅流傳有緒，入民國，歷政局變易，先後經滬上兩家遞藏。錢鏡塘（1907-1983）之「數青草堂」藏任伯年畫聞名遐邇，實範圍古今廣涉，海派名家搜羅齊備，惟虛谷作品傳世甚少，故其收藏中數量亦稀，本幅即重點之一。六十年代中期，因政治環境生變，部分藏品釋出，其中海派兩家精品，任頤之〈華祝三多圖〉及本幅，輾轉歸李宇超。
李宇超（1906-1968），山東諸城人。上世紀二十年代參加革命，先後於中共中央不同部門工作，三十年代起歷任中共中央上海局秘書長，中共豫西地委委員、宣傳部長、中原軍區第一縱隊聯絡部副部長、中共河間地委副書記兼宣傳部長等職。四九年後，歷任華南大學副校長兼黨委書記，後調職山東省政府。一九六二年調中共華東局任秘書長兼機關黨委書記。李氏嗜藝術，與京滬寧等地書畫界名家如傅抱石、潘天壽、王雪濤、吳作人、沈尹默等頗有往來，獲贈作品頗多。他亦好收藏，頗重早期海上畫派名家，鑑賞眼力尤高，故「數青草堂」流出之虛谷及任頤佳作均為其所得。

拍品資料及來源
註：虛谷作品，構圖簡約，線條銳利，敷色清淡，以冷峻清逸勝。本幅秋菊蟠桃，分置不同器皿，型制一方一圓，前後擺放，高低不一，恰好襯托盆中菊瓣瘦長、桃實厚重之態。下綴折枝松果，三者合之，具添壽長年之意。雖喻祝壽，畫面不類於一般熱鬧處理，菊花淡黃，墨葉掩映，間綴含苞待放者；桃實嫩綠泛紅，綠葉交疊，盛器色或藍或赭，皆取沉鬱，既顯體積質感，與全畫色調諧協統一，俱屬畫家筆下一貫秀逸之風。紀年「癸未」，時畫家剛屆花甲之齡，亦創作大盛之期，故寫來簡潔明快，佈局自然，且屬中堂大幅，品相完好，難怪錢鏡塘重之甚矣！
