Subject:Can anyone help with an artist seal?
Posted By: Fran Blanche Fri, Aug 11, 2017 IP: 73.233.176.85
I am trying to get information on the artist and time period for a vintage painting. Can anyone can translate this seal?

I have some better photos here - I'm trying to narrow down the time period and artist, and perhaps a description of the characters that are being depicted. Any help is appreciated.

The signature on the picture reads,
伊川法眼筆　　　Ikawa Hogen (hitsu)=
painted by
榮信　　　　　　Naganobu (reading of the seal)
Ikawa Hogen was one of the art names used by
Kano Naganobu (1775-1828), eight generation painter of the Kano School (Kobikicho House) at
the end of the Edo period.
With regards,

Thank you so much! It is amazing to know the name of the creator of this beautiful scroll. I will keep this information with the artifact for posterity.
