清十八世紀 紫檀雕山石竹紋筆筒，「鐵生奚岡」刻款
Xi Gang (1746–1803) was a prominent artist known for seal carving, calligraphy, and painting. His artistic reputation extended beyond China, especially after his travels to Japan. His seal carving drew inspiration from the Qin and Han traditions, and he became celebrated alongside Ding Jing, Huang Yi, and Jiang Ren as one of the Four Great Masters of Xiling.
奚岡（1746–1803）是清代著名藝術家，擅長篆刻、書法與繪畫，其藝術聲譽遠播海外，尤其在遊歷日本後更受矚目。他的篆刻取法秦漢古風，並與丁敬、黃易、蔣仁並稱「西泠四家」。
