Ren Yi was one of his most highly regarded painters, and the collector's seal as seen on this painting was made specifically for Ren Yi's works in Qian Jingtang's collection. Many paintings by Ren Yi now in the collections of the Palace Museum and the National Art Museum of China were previously in Qian's collection, and another painting by Ren Yi in the Fabian collection Bird on a Magnolia Branch sold in these rooms on 20 September 2021, bears the same collector's seal.
