清/現代　蕭俊賢　墨荷圖　軸|Lotus

Xiao Zhunxian

dated 1932 · Hanging scroll; ink on paper · Asian Art

Xiao settled in Shanghai after a career teaching in art colleges. He was fond of using a single large brush to execute all strokes in a painting, including the inscription. Here, his bold brushwork sensitively defines broad thin leaves curling in a rich, almost viscous space.
