Zhang Daqian (1899-1983), Chinese lithograph of an ape. Lithograph in ink and color on German etching paper, depicting "Hanging Gibbon over the Autumn Stream," signed in pencil "Dai C. Chang" and numbered 86/125, with an embossed publisher's seal and various printer's seals.
Image: 28.74"h x 16.93"w (73 x 43 cm)
Note: The composition may reflect Zhang Daqian's memories of his native Sichuan, known for its mountainous landscape. Dense forests and layered mossy rocks form the setting, with a playful gibbon shown on an old tree. In Chinese tradition, the gibbon has been associated with affection, simplicity, and companionship. The subject also held personal resonance for Zhang, who used the nickname "Yuan," a homophone of the Chinese word for monkey.
