Zhang Daqian (Chang Dai-chien, 1899-1983)1899 - 1983Lady by Hibiscus Groveink and colour on paper, framedsigned, with 3 seals of the artist55 x 40.5 cm 21⅝ x 16 in.----------------------------------------------張大千　芙蓉映照娉婷臉設色紙本 鏡框款識︰宛轉女郎歌，行人喚奈何。一聲歸去也，門外曉風多。大千居士爰。鈐印︰「張爰印信」、「大千」、「昵宴樓」。 來源︰王雲程（1910-2012）舊藏王氏，無錫人，父輩乃著名實業家，與榮氏合營麵粉廠、紗廠等企業致富。王雲程早歲留學美國，獲羅威爾紡織大學修紡織工程學士，返國後在滬上經營家族業務。四十年代末遷港，自一九四七創立南洋紗廠有限公司後，一直擔任常務董事，經營有道，在七十年代香港紡織業鼎盛時期叱吒業界，馳譽海外。其收藏集中「南張北溥」兩家，近年漸次於香港蘇富比釋出，如張大千五十年代工筆花卉及居美時期潑彩，洵精絕之作，亦可窺見其與畫家之過從關係。註︰大千寫古典仕女多矣，隨著藝術創作歷程演變，自清及明後上溯宋人，西涉敦煌，研習石窟藝術，風格又生變化，至五十年代臻至顛峯，貫通參合前人而面貌自生。本幅集前賢句意入畫，自是曲聲繞涼風，意悵惘而餘情無限。畫中薰風擺柳，芙蓉凝香，伊人玉立花叢，提袖交搭胸前，側首凝思，蛾眉舒張，眼波靈轉，似有一腔情愫欲對花言。佳人梳盤恒髻，簪朱花，身穿直對襟褂，色素淨，僅飾石青色寬邊，深得娟秀閨雅之致。其玉面剔透，臉泛胭脂，敷色乃啟發自敦煌壁畫之「三白臉」，身畔盛蕊婆娑，白中透紅，葉瓣碧翠，設色亦出淡雅一路。畫中人面芙蓉兩輝映，亟得脫俗恬淡之致，惟出自大千筆下，自是「芙蓉不及美人妝」！畫中運筆工細，敷石青、石綠、白粉等礦物顏料，且帶鈎金，處理手法均見習藝敦煌之影響，所選紙料細滑，潤膩如玉，故行筆甚得暢達之妙。裝裱之綾布紋飾簡潔大方，圖案樣式應屬東瀛所出。畫上無署年，按風格及紙材似屬寫於一九五一至五三年間，是時，畫家多次造訪日本，筆端出多幀仕女畫。參照王雲程藏另幅張大千工筆仕女〈翠袖倚竹圖〉，風格、尺寸，以至裝裱方式均如出一轍，堪配成對。另攷畫家為王氏繪工筆牡丹〈照殿紅牡丹〉及〈佛頭青牡丹〉，出諸相同形制，亦恰配對。合視之，可知本幅屬畫家同期應囑精製之一。大千傾耗心力如此，非知音不為之矣！參考資料︰〈翠袖倚竹圖〉可參見香港蘇富比，二○一三年十月，中國書畫拍賣，編號1344〈照殿紅牡丹〉、〈佛頭青牡丹〉可參見香港蘇富比，二○二一年十月，中國書畫拍賣，編號3158、315955 x 40.5 cm 21⅝x 16 in.品相: -Generally in good condition.
