Rouleau Suspendu de Calligraphie et Paysage Chinois

A traditional Chinese ink wash hanging-scroll style painting on warm off-white rice paper, vertically composed with large black brush calligraphy occupying the upper and right-central area and a landscape illustration in the lower left. The calligraphy is crisp, fully legible, and rendered in expressive semi-cursive script, arranged in 6 vertical columns read right to left: [“金樽清酒斗十千 玉盘珍羞直万钱”, “停杯投箸不能食 拔剑四顾心茫然”, “欲渡黄河冰塞川 将登太行雪满山”, “闲来垂钓碧溪上 忽复乘舟梦日边”, “行路难 行路难 多歧路 今安在”, “长风破浪会有时 直挂云帆济沧海”]. To the left of the poem is a smaller vertical signature reading [“李白行路难”], followed by a single small red square seal. In the landscape scene, [an ancient Chinese scholar-poet] in flowing pale robes stands on a rugged cliff edge at lower left, gazing outward in contemplation. Below, a turbulent river with whitecaps surges amid misty receding mountains, sparse brush vegetation, and soft atmospheric fog. Painted in monochrome black ink with subtle muted blue-gray washes, featuring generous negative space and a heroic, melancholic mood.
