Two vertical panels, each with black calligraphic script on light paper, framed by shimmering gold
Detailed Description
The artwork consists of two vertical panels, each featuring a rectangular sheet of light-colored paper with black calligraphic script, set against a shimmering gold background. The gold background, likely gold leaf, displays a textured, reflective surface with visible seams or patterns. Each paper rectangle is centrally placed within its panel, leaving a wide border of gold on all sides. The calligraphy on both panels is executed in black ink with a brush, forming fluid strokes. On the left panel, multiple columns of script are visible, with characters varying in size and density. Some characters are large and bold, while others are smaller and more delicate, forming vertical lines of text. Similarly, the right panel presents several columns of black script, also exhibiting a range of character sizes and brushwork. The dark ink contrasts sharply against the light paper and the luminous gold surround.
