Chinese Ink Wash Scroll with Calligraphy

A classical Chinese ink-wash painting on warm aged rice paper with a two-part composition combining landscape art and calligraphy. On the left half, generous negative space features bold black brush-calligraphy displaying the poem title "[早发白帝城]", poet name "[李白]", and four large vertical lines of poem text in expressive handwritten script: "[朝辞白帝彩云间，千里江陵一日还。两岸猿声啼不住，轻舟已过万重山。]". On the right half, a traditional shan shui river gorge at sunrise: a soft orange sun low above misty layered mountains, towering steep cliffs on both banks, faint distance haze, and calm reflective water shimmering with pale gold light. In the foreground at the lower right, a small wooden riverboat with a simple covered cabin and vertical mast carries a solitary ancient Chinese scholar in flowing white hanfu, standing on the deck facing away, his hair in a topknot and sash drifting in the breeze. A tiny temple pavilion perches high on the right cliff top. Delicate ink outlines, subtle sepia and gray ink washes, visible paper grain, and literati aesthetics evoke a quiet, contemplative atmosphere with clear, legible calligraphy.
