Description
This hanging scroll of seven-character poem in running script by Qi Baishi retains its original mounting. His calligraphy absorbs brush essence from seal and clerical scripts, with rugged, seasoned strokes and simple, substantial lines, free of superficial grace. Arranged in four columns, characters shift between tilted and upright forms with varied sizes. Ink features rich dry-wet contrast and smooth rhythmic flow. The poem depicts pastoral seclusion with elegant mood. Dedicated to Mr. Shoulan, the work is well preserved with original mounting, steady and ancient in spirit, a fine representative example of Qi Baishi’s running script.
