Scroll of the Wonders of Xiao Xiang - Colophon 1
This image captures the calligraphic inscription from Mi Youren's famous 'Mysterious View of Xiao Xiang' scroll, acting like a handwritten diary entry attached to a Song Dynasty masterpiece. Written in fluid running script in traditional columns from right to left, the text flows with the same misty energy as the landscapes Mi Youren is famous for, referencing his father Mi Fu's studio name 'Haiyue' and the city of Zhenjiang. The numerous red collector seals stamped along the edges serve as a visual timeline of ownership, proving that for nearly a thousand years, art lovers have been eager to leave their mark on this precious paper.
