Brief Description
Horizontally oriented paper with black calligraphy and faint brown shapes, on a striped fabric mount
Detailed Description
The artwork features a rectangular piece of light beige paper, horizontally oriented, centered within a larger mounting. On the paper, black ink calligraphy is arranged in vertical columns. The most prominent calligraphy is on the right and center, written in a bold, fluid style. Fainter, irregular light brown shapes, resembling large leaves or clouds, are visible behind the calligraphy, primarily on the right and extending towards the center. On the far left of the paper, a diagonal light brown line runs from the top left towards the bottom center, with smaller, more delicate calligraphy written to its right. The central paper is framed by a decorative border approximately one inch wide, featuring gold, light green, and brown patterns of vines or small flowers. This border is set against an outer mounting of vertically striped fabric, with alternating wider light brown and narrower dark brown stripes.
