“ In January 1950, Zhang Daqian’s first overseas solo exhibition was opened in New Delhi with the help of his friend, Luo Jialun, then the Indian ambassador. Daqian brought his wife and daughter to India. After the exhibition, he traveled around India to travel, first to visit Ayutthaya to visit Linyi Indian murals, and then to Darjeeling in the Himalayas in northern India. Darjeeling has beautiful scenery and simple folk customs. It is also the closest to China. Daqian who have been exhausted for a few months, immediately fell in love with this piece of quiet land, and decided to rent a house there. Many years later, when he was interviewed in Taipei, he said: "In the Darjeeling period, I was in the stage where I painted more, had more poems, and had the most vigorous work spirit. The eyesight was the best at the time, and the paintings were also more elaborate." This is one of the paintings from Daqian’s Darjeeling phase,” states the auction house, describing the artistic journey of Daqian.
The present painting is composed of ink and color on paper, and it is also framed and inscribed and signed Daqian Zhang Yuan, with one seal of the artist. This painting was created in 1951 as the auction house states.

The Xiqiao Yupu, the continent is covered, and the south is also.””
