Subject:Chinese Scroll
Posted By: David Mann Fri, Jun 19, 2020 IP: 2601:6c2:0:40b0:62fb

I have an old Chinese Scroll with many seals on it.
Can anyone tell me what they mean?

Inscriptions,
觀潮圖精品 - Picture of Watching the Tide - Fine Quality
乙未春日 - On a Spring Day of the Year Wood-Sheep (1665)
於潮州 - In Chaozhou
Signature,
石溪 - Shixi - Pseudonym
Seal,
石溪 - Shixi

The other seals are collectors' seals.

This pseudonym belonged to Kun Can (K'ung Ts'an)
髠殘 1612-1674
His original surname was Liu, a native of Wuling, Hunan. Served as the abbot of the Niushou Temple near Nanking. He was good at landscape painting.
Only a few of his original works have survived.
Your one should be a copy of one of his surviving works.

With regards,
I.Nagy
