This engraved portrait of his fellow artist, executed in 1954, demonstrates Huang Yongyu's approach to this medium of a single image reproduced in multiple. Both artists began their careers with wood carving and engraving, in addition to sharing Hunan as their native place. Huang Yongyu's inscription is to his Polish student at the Central Academy, Gerard Desput, written in 1959, the last year of Desput's stay in China, at Dayabao Hutong, where Qi Baishi resided. Other extant examples of this print include dedications to Chen Ji (1918-2004) and one inscribed by Qi Baishi himself.T US Import TariffPlease note that this lot is subject to an import tariff of 7.5%.
