Calligraphy

Wen Peng

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Calligraphy by Wen Peng: A traditional Chinese fan with calligraphy on a beige background. The fan shape is semi-circular and made of a textured material. The calligraphy is written in black ink. The text consists of many lines of characters that curve and flow across the surface. A small red stamp or seal is near the bottom left corner of the fan. The background of the image is a plain beige color with a white border at the bottom. Small black text is centered at the bottom but is too small to read.
