Thank you for a point in the right direction. Indeed seems to be written (for/to?) Luo Shenfu, the wife of our author’s older brother - Cao Pi. (I changed the image to higher resolution; hope it helps.)

@droooze I did. Before it was cut off; now it’s full. I regret that it may be unclear though.

<p>Came across characters which appear to be written on parchment. Any idea why it’d be framed or the meaning of it? All I can tell is that it seems to be a [poetic] story. (The characters in red are a signature and appear on other paintings as well.)</p>
