Born in 1881, Mr. Wang Yiling (Wang Xiwen) (1881-1953) was a banker and director at the Kincheng Banking Corporation (Jincheng Yinhang) during the Republican Period (1911-1949). After returning from his studies in Japan, Wang began to hold important positions at major branches of the Kincheng Bank in Beijing, Tianjin, and Hankou. During this time, he built an important collection of Chinese paintings and calligraphy with the help of his close friends - many of whom were 20th century Chinese painting masters themselves, including Zhang Daqian and Chen Banding. In his later years, Wang and his family settled in Hong Kong, where his art collection grew substantially in size and importance. After 1950, his descendants began emigrating to Brazil, Taiwan, and the United States, bringing with them their father's collection. While a major part of the family collection is currently preserved in the Shanghai Museum and Shanghai Library, more works associated with this collection have been spotted at auction in recent years. The present collection is the third part of the family collection Heffel represented in April 2024 and October 2025, which featured major Zhang Daqian scroll, Ming, Qing Dynasty fan paintings, and a Zhao Mengfu calligraphy album catalogued in Shiqu Baoji.

藏印:小三吾鉴藏(冒襄, 1611-1693)(六次)、慕园(六次)、集贤街西(冒广生, 1873-1959)(六次)

题识:(一)魏学濂(1608-1644):此子当置丘壑,可谓是风神恬淡之丘壑相宜耳。绘事虽云小道却须置丘壑胸坎中方许布笔。仲芳落落穆穆,十山五水久具幅间,观其墨深堕处,所谓恕先在焉 [...] 魏学濂识。
钦印:魏学濂
冒广生题跋:魏学濂,字子一,嘉善人,大中子,崇祯癸未庶常,为复社眉目。明史谓其降贼,已有辩之者,其前后绝命二诗载李诗系。钦印:广生

(二)黄鼎(明崇祯)题识:奔泉自放云中高,一尺为溪劳并刀。周以水屋在沙要,长波忽动林秋毫。自非胸中有江海,何处千峰日相待。入意长茫无见先,中坻宛似随霜采。春容流黛空荆关,尔阿尔壑非一闲。只今大滌插天表,平窗望欲无他山。庚辰(1640)至日黄鼎题。
钦印:黄鼎之印、平立居士
冒广生题跋:黄鼎,字象三,秀水人,崇祯间诸生有咏遇诸稿。钦印:广生

(三)​​钱旃(1597-1647)题识:真山水要似画必有不可登临处乃为奇,旷画山水要似真使人玩之可游可居乃为真适。品酒者曰三日不饮便形神不亲,又曰酒令人远亲远二义,即不可登而可游可居也。画家三昧乃在醉乡乎?每揽吾仲所染,便欲移家其中,及展是册,亟呼童子,携我酒具茶铛,并担书笥画簏,往仲家墨庄上去,但恐有舟可舍无津可问。仲冬望日题,仿村栴。
钦印:彦林
冒广生题跋:《嘉兴府志》钱旃,字彦林,士晋子,癸酉举人,兵部职方司郎中,国破死。钝宦记。彦林著有《白门诗》,仲芳著有《读易绪言》。钦印:广生。

(四)程嘉燧(1565-1643)题识:每对湖山算买山,买将身置画图间。年来省作无钱计,自画云林着老顽。此穷措大无聊之思耳,仲芳坐拥百城,神游八极,晤言啸歌,自令人(山)皆响,宜其含毫洒墨超然物表,非庸工所能仿彿也。偈庵老人程嘉燧书,时年七十有七。
钦印:孟阳
冒广生题跋:程嘉燧,字孟阳,休宁人,侨居嘉定。与唐时升、娄坚、李流芳称嘉定四先生,工书画,尤长于诗,有《浪淘集》。钦印:广生

(五)钱谦益(1582-1664)题跋:西谿梅花千万树,低亚凝明塞行路。永兴两树最淖约,素艳孤荣自相顾。飘黄拂绿傍香楼,春寒日莫含清愁。依然翠袖修竹里,遥忆美人溪水头。从倚沉吟正愁绝,见君画册思飘瞥。开怀落落生云山,触眼纷纷缀香雪。羡君画高神亦闲,趣在苍茫近远间。仲圭残墨泼武水,子久粉本留虞山。我将梅花比君画,月地云堦吐光怪。乞君挥洒墨汁余,向我萧闲草堂挂。草堂深柳净无尘,淡墨疏窗会赏真。还将屈铁横斜意,举似凌风却月人。二月九日再过永兴寺,梅花烂发仿佛有怀适,仲芳寄画册索题,戏作短歌书于纸尾并与,彦林发一笑也。篯后人谦益书于西溪舟中。
钦印:谦益、斟雉海虞
冒广生题跋:钱谦益,字牧斋,常熟人。胜国时以榜眼官至礼部尚书,入国朝官礼部侍郎,有《初学》、《有学》诸集。钦印:广生

(六)钱棻自跋:此余初学画笔也,于六法未曾梦见而诸公谬相叹赏,以是留箧中者十年。所今
邑侯刘钦中先生以读礼行欲洒片墨为别而卒卒未就,爰出此赠之。余画虽不足观,若孟阳三吴高士,虞山代间钜手,其诗句翰藻自可玩宝。即魏庶常及家司马其遗墨亦有三存者,请当大钱之献何如?庚寅(1850)八月朔钱棻再识。
钦印:钱棻、仲芳
冒广生题跋:刘钦中,名肃之,安阳人,崇祯壬午举人,顺治丁亥嘉善知县,以母忧归,官至温州知府,《安阳县志》有传,钝宦。钦印:广生
《嘉兴府志》钱棻,字仲芳,士晋子,崇祯壬午举人,少失恃,继母尽子职。流寇披猖,阁部史可法(1602-1645)招至幕下,辞不就。暮年著书大涤山以终。年家后生冒广生得于京师,因题记。钦印:冒广生

汪希文 (1890 - 1960) 题签:钱仲芳山水,明金笺本。
钦印:汪希文

注:王锡文 (1881-1953),字毅灵、毅庵(毅厂),四川内江人。早年留学日本,因与同乡张大千相交甚笃。归国后受周作民邀请加入金城银行,并长期担任汉口、北京、天津等地分行经理。在此期间,他与各地收藏团体以及张大千、陈半丁等近代书画名家密切交往,构建了重要的碑帖书画收藏。晚年携家人定居香港,收藏日丰。1950年后,其子女渐次移居至巴西、台湾、以及北美,王氏所藏始分散各地,其中部分现为上海博物馆与上海图书馆所藏。近年,其旧藏始现于各地拍场。2022年香港苏富比释出张大千《松崖白练》与《白莲》画轴,即为其在 “八德园” 时期,为一同侨居巴西的王老夫人及其子王宜宪 (1918-1979) 所做。此子侨居摩诘后与大千比邻,常为其管理书画进出口之各项事宜。本场所呈王氏藏品与2024年4月及2025年10月Heffel释出的大千画轴、明清扇面、以及石渠宝笈著录赵孟頫书册系同一家藏。
