The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a fan-shaped piece of paper with calligraphy on it. The paper is light brown and fanned out, resembling a traditional Chinese fan. The calligraphy is written in black ink and covers most of the paper's surface. The writing consists of numerous Chinese characters arranged in lines from top to bottom. A small, red square seal is visible on the bottom left side of the fan. The background of the image is a light beige color. At the bottom center, there is small black text. The calligraphy is attributed to Wen Zhongyi.
