Letter to Liang Zhongren

Shen Du

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a piece of aged paper with writing on it. The paper is a light brown color, with darker brown spots scattered throughout. There are several lines of black Chinese calligraphy written on the paper, which appear to be handwritten. The calligraphy lines are written in a vertical column on the left and a slightly slanted column to the right. There are six red stamps in the bottom-left and bottom-right corners. A brown strip of paper with Chinese characters written on it is on the top-right. A white strip with Chinese characters runs vertically along the right side.
