Description
He Shaoji (1799-1873), Regular Script Twelve-Character Couplet, Hanging Scroll. Height: 178 cm (70.08 in); Width: 43 cm (16.93 in). This is a pair of paper-based ink calligraphy couplets by He Shaoji, in vintage original mounting. The calligraphy draws upon ancient stele models, featuring broad, powerful characters with forceful, varied brush-strokes, reflecting his distinctive wrist-rotating writing technique. Extended colophons bear the Tongzhi-era year mark "Gui-Hai", signed "He Shaoji, composed and inscribed at Haishan Immortal Hall in Guangzhou", sealed with two artist-seals. Supplementary inscriptions record reflections on calligraphy theory, presented as a gift for a friend. The paper bears natural age-related spots, well-preserved overall, representing a fine stele-school calligraphy couplet of the Qing dynasty.
