Paintings after Ancient Masters
The front cover of a wooden album, polished dark wood with strong grain, has a pale paper label down its left edge carrying black brushwork characters and a red seal. Two small printed and handwritten labels sit near the bottom, noting paintings and a calligraphy leaf inside.
Look closer: A small handwritten label near the bottom edge lists two covers, ten paintings and one calligraphy.
