錢慧安 醉臥怡紅 設色紙本 册頁 PROVENANCESotheby's New York, June 1980, lot 137來源蘇富比紐約,1980年6月Inspired by a scene from Dream of the Red Chamber, Qian Hui'an depicts the chapter in which Granny Liu, a distantly-related elderly cousin from the countryside, visits the family compound of the wealthy Jia Family. Amazed by the extravagance and grandeur of the mansion, she drinks too much at dinner and finds herself lost in the Grand View Garden, eventually stumbling upon a courtyard to have a rest. The courtyard, belonging to the main character Jia Baoyu, the youngest son who was attended by forty servants, was filled with luxuries like the mirror that Granny Liu stares at in wonder. 《紅樓夢》第41回"櫳翠庵茶品梅花雪怡紅院劫遇母蝗蟲", 承蒙榮府的盛情款待, 劉姥姥因受王熙鳳和鴛鴦的愚弄喝多了酒, 在嗣後的遊園活動中如廁出來後迷失了路徑, 獨自一個人誤入怡紅院, 最終走進寶玉臥室, 製造了一出滑稽鬧劇。
