Zheng Banqiao (1693-1765), Calligraphy Masterpiece, Qing Dynasty. Length: 98 cm (38.58 in); Width: 50 cm (19.69 in). Ink on paper. This running-script work by Zheng Banqiao records remarks on calligraphy. He created his unique "Six-and-a-Half Script", taking clerical script as skeleton and blending regular, running and cursive scripts. The composition is uneven and dynamic, known as "scattered stones on the street". Characters vary in size and inclination, density naturally follows the rhythm. Rich changes in brush pressure, lines are powerful and unrestrained, unconventional yet disciplined. The whole scroll flows in one breath. Inscription reads "To Elder Mr. Suweng, Zheng Xie of Banqiao", with two seals of the artist below. Original mounted hanging scroll, aged paper and ink in good preservation, a representative calligraphy piece of Zheng Banqiao.
