Evidence
"The calligrapher would stamp one or two seals in red colour. Generally, the shape of most of these stamps is squared. The seal may contain the artist name, wishes, his logotype, a date or studio name."
Remarks
The scroll features two red seals: one square seal mentioning the artist name 'Kuai Qing' and one oval seal presenting the wish 'Wan Gu Chang Chun' (ever-lasting to a long life) (p. 69). A solubility spot test determined that the red ink was slightly soluble in water (p. 71).
