The background of miss Jenny's portrait
The woman in the painting, Miss Jenny, was born in Guangdong and was a celebrity in Sin Chew at that time. This portrait was commissioned by Xu Beihong, her boyfriend and then Belgian Deputy Consul in Singapore, Brenda. After the painting was completed, it was appreciated by everyone. Blanca marveled at Xu Beihong's artistic talent and held a grand unveiling ceremony for this painting. Miss Jenny herself likes it very much. After the painting was completed, she also generously donated money to save the country, which was also a much-told story at that time. This painting was paid S $40,000, which should be the most paid painting in Nanyang fundraising during this period (the total amount exceeded S $ 1 1. 1 ten thousand). Xu Beihong himself was very satisfied with this painting, and specially asked the photographer to take a photo for him and this painting as a precious souvenir. This painting later became the cover of the book Sin Chew Sad Hong.
