Description
Huang Aihong was born in Guangdong province and studied at Gao Jianfu’s (1879-1951) Chunshui Art Studio. The Chunshui Art Studio was established in 1923. Many Lingnan School artists, such as Guan Shanyue (1912-2000), Li Xiongcai (1910-2001), and Fang Rending (1901-1975) also studied there. This exhibition includes some of their works. It is said that Huang Aihong was one of the most talented students of Gao Jianfu, excelling at painting various subjects including landscape, flowers, and birds. Unfortunately he died at a young age and this painting, dated to the last year of his life, may be one of his last works.

Chinese Paintings in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford
Huang Aihong was born in Guangdong province and studied at Gao Jianfu's Chunshui Studio. Like other Lingnan School painters, he spent time in Shanghai, where he had a one-man show and where he died at the age of twenty-three. The inscription 'begun in winter 1937' suggest that the artist may not have completed this painting before his death that year.
