真迹 refers to an original, authentic work of art — especially painting or calligraphy — created by the artist themselves, as opposed to a copy, forgery, or reproduction. It's a high-register term used in art authentication and collecting contexts. You'll see it in phrases like 名人真迹 ('authentic work of a famous person') or 鉴定真迹 ('authenticate an original').
