thank you.

i saw these pictures hanging in a house, which i believe a doctor lived in. there were patient care type tables around. maybe massage type couches? i was wondering also what the little red stamp symbols mean.

The little red stamp symbols refer to a personal seal. In China there are many people has their own seal, like a lawyer, a businessman, espacially the painters, and calligrapher. They would like to use their seal after they finish a piece of work.
