Calligraphy

Yang Wencong

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Brown fan-shaped paper with black calligraphy written on it. The fan shape is made up of multiple connected sections that are fanned out. The calligraphy is written in rows from top to bottom, with the rows curving to follow the shape of the fan. The calligraphy is in black ink and appears to be written in a traditional style. A small red stamp or seal is on the bottom left corner of the paper. Small black text is centered at the bottom. The background is a solid beige color.
