Lin Fengmian (1900-1991), initially named Fengming, was a native of Mei county in Guangdong province. The docks of the Huangpu River in Shanghai marked both the starting and ending points of his studies in France. He worked as the president of the National Academy of Art (now the China Academy of Art) and later as a painter at the Shanghai Chinese Painting Academy, residing in Shanghai for 27 years. Throughout his life, Lin was dedicated to exploring the integration of Chinese and Western art, and this painting serves as an example of this approach.
