Gu Yun (1835-1896) was a native of present-day Suzhou in Jiangsu province who later joined the community of artists in Shanghai. Gu Yun, whose courtesy name was Ruobo, was supposedly a frequent visitor of Gu Wenbin's ‘Hall of Passing Clouds’, where he copied the collection's masterpieces from the Song to Qing dynasties. The current lot exhibits this refined and understated style, infused with a profound respect for the masters of ancient times. In 1888 he travelled to Japan and stayed at the Qing embassy, and many of his works remained in the country until they were destroyed by the fires caused by the Great Kantō earthquake in 1923.
