拍品資料及來源
註:蔣兆和擅寫社會低下層的眾生相。他既具豐富的切身體驗,兼其北京畫室所在的竹竿巷,靠近朝陽門外,正是貧苦大眾聚集之地,恰好為他提供創作入畫對象的源泉。畫中小童,稚氣未除,已手執報紙,街頭叫賣,那怕掙得一毫幾分,亦好暫解當日温飽,此故都日常生活之真實寫照。
畫上無紀年,按畫中筆墨風格,及原藏者購入之時間,應為約四六至四八年間所寫。

在二十世紀中國畫壇的人物畫創作中,蔣兆和風格獨樹一幟,以寫實技巧反映現實,體現了偉大人道主義之深刻思想性。其創作高峰期約於一九三六年至四八年,技巧與內容、西方素描與傳統筆墨的互融,都取得出色的成果,被喻為二十世紀中國現實主義繪畫的偉大作品之一 —〈流民圖〉亦於這段期間面世。
因其作品表現手法與傳統迥異,內容集中反映民間基層生活,有別於一般欣賞口味,且兵火離亂,早期作品多有流失毀損,傳世者數量有限。惟如此獨特之風格,卻引起來華外籍人士格外關注,筆下不少作品為他們所得,日後離華回國,遂攜返所居地,作品因此得以保存。近十載以來,不少早期畫作重新面世,引起藝術界廣大關注,對蔣氏藝術地位重新評價。
本輯作品即近期重新見於海外收藏者。原藏者乃英籍人士,上世紀三十年代初為荷蘭皇家殼牌公司駐華人員,於滇緬公路上從事資源運輸工作。二戰爆發,被調往印度,隸屬英屬印度陸軍,期間與美籍軍中護士相識並結縭。戰後返中國,四九年撤出,定居紐約。北平居停期間,因夫人甚好蔣兆和畫藝,與其頗有往來,約於四六至四八年間,直接選購作品數幀。即使遷居多次,仍一直張懸廳堂,日後方留付兒輩。
