Wen Zhengming
Wen Zhengming married the daughter of a high-ranking official and "jinshi" named Wu Yu around the year 1490. Her uncle was the artist Xia Chang, whose paintings of bamboo may have influenced Wen's own work. Little is known about Wen's wife herself, whose personal name was not recorded. After she died in 1542, Wen painted "Wintry Trees after Li Cheng" for a guest who arrived with a gift to mourn her death.
