Pu Ru (1896-1963), also known as Pu Xinyu, was one of the foremost Chinese painters, calligraphers, and scholars of the twentieth century. A descendant of the Qing imperial family and cousin of the Xuantong Emperor (Puyi), he received a classical education rooted in traditional literature, calligraphy, and painting. Renowned for his refined brushwork and profound command of literati aesthetics, Pu Ru was celebrated as one of the "Four Great Masters" of modern Chinese painting, alongside Wu Hufan, Zhang Daqian, and Huang Junbi. His landscapes, figures, and calligraphy are distinguished by their elegant restraint, meticulous technique, and deep engagement with historical models.

溥儒（1896-1963），又称溥心畬，是二十世纪中国最重要的画家、书法家和学者之一。作为清朝皇室的后裔，宣统皇帝溥仪的堂兄弟，他接受了根植于传统文学、书法和绘画的经典教育。以其精致的笔法和深厚的文人美学造诣而闻名，溥儒与吴湖帆、张大千、黄君璧并称为现代中国画的“四大家”。他的山水、人物和书法作品以其优雅的克制、精细的技巧和对古代范本的深刻研习而著称。
