Seals and inscriptions on Chinese painting
Han Gan, a leading horse painter of the Tang dynasty (618–907), was known for portraying not only the physical likeness of a horse but also its spirit. The numerous seals and inscriptions added to the painting and its borders by later owners and experts are a distinctive feature of Chinese collecting. The addition of seals and comments by later viewers served to record a work's transmission and offers vivid testimony of an artwork's continuing impact on later generations. - The Metropolitan Museum
