Subject:Japanese Painting on Canvas
Posted By: Anne Fri, May 17, 2019 IP: 2606:a000:82c4:8f00:

I am assuming this painting is Japanese(?) I am noticing hidden figures. I'm not sure if it's just the way I am viewing the painting but would like to know the artist/style. I attached a separate image of the script and seal. There are glare spots from the glass that are not part of the painting.

Seal reads Wang Wei 王苇 but not the poet!

The picture is Chinese,
Title,
溪澗遠源 - Far source of the mountain stream
Signature,
蜀原 - Shuyuan (Origin of Sichuan) - Pseudonym
Seal,
王葦 - Wang Wei

I could not find artist with above name.

With regards,
I.Nagy

Thanks for your help, Mike!! It sounds like this painting might be Chinese. I'll search Wang Wei 王苇 although it might be difficult with such a popular name.
