A Caligraphy on Fan with poems by Zhu Lu, Ming Dynasty, 16th century. Ink on golden-flecked paper, fan leaf. Zhu Lu was an impoverished scholar from Suzhou who devoted himself to bamboo painting and poetry. There is a poem that is translated as follows:

New branches, half newly grown green sheaves;
Jade feeling, how richly shaped and carved!
I linger, come to hidden blue-green colors;
Here all suits my heart, nothing is at odds.

Very good condition
