Ching Shiun chairman Chen Pi-chen notes that the current owner of A Scene in Chiayi Park bought the work more than 30 years ago from Yeh Mao-hsiung, owner of Tientai Art and Stationery, who is from the same county as the painter. Because Chen Cheng-po was executed in Taiwan's February 28 Incident, his paintings were neglected until martial law came to an end, when they were able to reappear.
景薰樓董事長陳碧真表示，這幅畫的原收藏者在三十多年前向陳澄波的同鄉、天台美術材料社葉茂雄購得，過去因陳澄波捲入 228 事件不幸受難的政治背景，畫作一直束之高閣，解嚴後才得以重見天日。
