    An Lin (born 1930) was born in Chengdu, Sichuan province. She studied painting in the Sichuan Art Academy and is a member of the Chinese Artists’ Association. She specialises in shuiyin print and is famous for her lively depictions of birds and animals. This print was a gift of the artist to Michael Sullivan (1916-2013) in 1980 when Michael was visiting China. The inscription reads ‘For Mr. Sullivan and Wu Huan as a memento.’
