copy of a section of a painting by Zhang Yu (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a5/%E6%96%87%E5%A7%AC%E6%AD%B8%E6%BC%A2%E5%9C%96.jpg)showing Lady Wenji (not a man) returning to China. Some details in English here: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/39569

Thank you so much for correcting my misinterpretation of the lady for a man. Such an important lady rescued from long captivity. The scroll exhibited at the MET is so impressive!
Thank you for introducing it to me. I sincerely appreciate. Do we know who made this artistic copy and when was it done?

The seal is a fake imperial seal but the second column gives a cyclical year corresponding to 1995
(first column reads "Wenji Returns to China"
