Anonymous (Qing Dynasty), Rubbing of Wadang
This set of four hanging scrolls consists of rubbings from stone inscriptions, a traditional Chinese technique of transferring carved characters and images onto paper using ink. Created during the Qing Dynasty, the work demonstrates the scholarly interest in preserving and studying ancient calligraphy and epigraphic traditions. Rubbings such as these served both archival and aesthetic purposes, allowing literati to collect and appreciate historical inscriptions while also creating artworks valued for their tonal qualities and textural refinement.
