Lady Xuanwen Giving Instruction on the Rites of Zhou
A tall hanging scroll shows a palace courtyard beneath pines and clouds. A seated lady in red-and-white robes teaches a group of attendants, some seated on a low platform and others standing, while a long column of calligraphy rises at the upper left.
Look closer: Calligraphic inscription column in the upper left, with seals in the lower corners.
