Descriptions

Description

This rubbing derives from an engraved stele memorializing a famous painting of the monks Hanshan and Shide by the Qing painter Luo Ping (1733-1799). The original painting is now in the collection of the Nelson-Atkins Museum, Kansas City, Missouri (William Rockhill Nelson Trust, 72–5). The stele, which remains at the Hanshan Temple in Suzhou, was carved by Tang Renzhai sometime between 1875 and 1908.
