上款:「振英同志」為任震英(1913-2005),黑龍江阿城人,一九三七年畢業於哈爾濱工業大學建築系。先後擔任蘭州建設局局長、蘭州規劃管理局總工程師等職。任震英精通俄文,一九五三年蘇聯專家穆欣被派至蘭州協助展開城市規劃時,他為主要負責人。在蘇聯專家指導下,任氏編制了蘭州一九五四至七四年城市總體規劃,為建國後第一份被批准實施的城市規劃藍圖。一九五三年冬,穆欣屆滿歸國,包括任震英在內的三十幾位中國建築專家,在一張手繪的象徵中蘇友誼的紀念卡上,簽名留念,為其送行(參考圖1)。
據本幅裱邊題跋,一九五五年底任震英將作品轉贈穆欣。次年,在穆欣手錄的清單中,專有一頁收錄和中國有關的物品(參考圖2),其中七月二十六日條目下,即為本幅〈水族圖〉,並標註該作得自任震英送贈。
