Step Chariot - Colophon 6
This image captures the elegant colophon section of the *Bunian Tu* (The Sedan Chair), a famous scroll originally painted by Yan Liben depicting Emperor Taizong of Tang. While the main painting shows a historic diplomatic meeting with a Tibetan envoy, this section serves as a historical 'guestbook' where later scholars and collectors added calligraphy and red seals. The text discusses the artwork's authenticity and value, while the stamps prove its journey through the hands of various owners over centuries. It’s a fascinating mix of art history and celebrity autographs!
