Property from the Collection of Isabel Chang, Barrington, Illinois

Provenance:
Inherited from Yu Hung-Chun (1898-1960)
俞鴻鈞（1898-1960）舊藏書畫，由其後人委托

俞鴻鈞出身廣東新會，家中經營海外貿易致富。上海聖約翰大學西文系畢業，隨著囯軍北伐攻克申城而入上海市政府，一路由英文秘書、宣傳科長、代理財務局長到市政府秘書長，期間針對外籍人士開設的賽馬場新徵賽馬稅，一年增加百萬銀元收入，成為上海市市庫的重要來源。俞鴻鈞38年臨危受命上海市長，遷都重慶后轉任中央信托局長。在政治上起先偏政學系，後轉官邸派。41年孔祥熙命其爲財務部次長，不久孔因發行美金公債貪污舞弊而免官，遂代孔掌财政。49年山河變色之際受命于極峰，轉移大批黃金美鈔到台灣，奠定寶島發展的經濟基礎，亦因此官拜臺灣省政府主席。后因堅持憲政主張遭彈劾下野，復任中央銀行總裁，60年5月底呈交中央銀行復業計劃，兩天之後卻因氣喘病發作，猝然辭世，獲褒揚令，葬陽明山。本場這批書畫的委托方乃俞鴻鈞之甥女，五十年赴芝加哥留學后定居。其母為俞鴻鈞二妹（俞是大哥，下有一弟兩妹），六十年代初定居美國，書畫是俞鴻鈞早嵗贈送家人的禮物，來源明晰，值得購藏。
