Night Revels of Han Xizai - Colophon 2
Think of this scroll section as the historical 'comment section' for one of China's most famous paintings. While Gu Hongzhong's original *The Night Revels of Han Xizai* depicts a raucous political party, this specific image features calligraphy added by later admirers centuries later. The text, written in elegant running script, discusses the extreme rarity of Tang dynasty masterpieces and praises the work. The red seals scattered throughout act as stamps of ownership and appreciation from famous collectors like Ye Gongchuo, who added his notes in Hong Kong in 1949.
