Album of Miscellaneous Subjects, Colophon
An album page of pale peach tone flecked with gold, with a column of cursive Chinese calligraphy in black ink running down the right side and a red seal impression near its base. The left half is largely blank, showing faint ink smudges and soft shadows. The page reads as a written inscription rather than a painting, and its text is in the vertical format typical of such notes.
Look closer: A small red seal impression sits beside the signature near the lower right of the text column.
