Brief Description
Black calligraphy on aged, light brown paper with red seals and small dark holes along edges
Detailed Description
A horizontally oriented rectangular piece of aged, light brown paper is covered with black calligraphy and red seals. The paper exhibits a warm, light brown hue with visible signs of age, including creases, wrinkles, and areas of darker brown discoloration, particularly along vertical lines. Subtle, lighter patterns are visible in some sections of the paper. Large, bold black calligraphic characters are arranged in vertical columns, read from right to left. From right to left, the visible characters are: '右', '性', '少'; then '陸', '題', '王'; then '寧', '山'; then '水', '圖'; and partially visible on the far left, '十', '日', '畫'. Several red seals are stamped on the paper. A prominent red seal is in the upper right quadrant, partially overlapping the calligraphy. A smaller, fainter red seal is below it, near the bottom of the rightmost column of text. A very faint red mark is in the upper middle section. Along the top and bottom edges of the brown paper, several small, dark circular holes are evenly spaced.
