Travel Poems [left of a pair] 1834

This long, horizontal hanging scroll, created by Unge in 1834, features four Chinese characters in elegant black ink on a white background. Known as "Travel Poems" [left of a pair], the work showcases the artist's mastery of calligraphy, a traditional art form in China. The characters, likely poetic in nature, demonstrate the fluidity and grace of Unge's brushstrokes, highlighting the beauty of Chinese language and its artistic expression. The scroll, now residing in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, embodies the refined aesthetics of East Asian calligraphy.
