The sale also features pieces from Hong Kong and overseas collections, such as paintings from the M. K. Lau Collection and Huang Binhong’s late landscapes from a private Hong Kong collection. Joining the refined collections are highlights including Wu Guanzhong’s A Sketch of Five Pines of Mount Tai, Zhang Daqian’s Landscape of a Mountain in Autumn formerly from the collection of Lo Chia-luen, Wu Hufan’s Running Stream by the Pines, and Visiting Friend painted by Dai Xi for Chen Jieqi.
