Wu Hufan (1894-1968), originally named Wu Yiyan (later Wu Wan), also known by his zi (designated name) Dongzhuang and hao (literary name) Qian'an, was a native of Suzhou, Jiangsu. He later settled in Shanghai. This handscroll includes a painting and inscription by the artist to accompany a portrait of Liu Dingzhi, a renowned modern master of mounting and conservation. The brushwork is firm and spirited, written with quick yet precise brushwork. This scroll was written in 1955, when the artist was 62.
