Fan painting - Calligraphy on round fan

Fan painting - Calligraphy on round fan

Arts; Arts-Calligraphy; Arts-Painting;

Seven lines of running script on a round fan, followed by a single line with the dedication and signature, which is unclear. This is an attractive example of the running script, by a writer who confidently and quickly wrote out this piece. There are some curious inconsistencies in the scale of characters, some being very small and other quite large. The distinctive cipher that is the signature should be able to be identified at some later date.
