Subject:Hanging Scroll - Boat on River
Posted By: Alexander May Sun, Sep 06, 2020 IP: 182.18.225.19

Hello, would love to get a clue on this hanging scroll. It has four (4) seals (3 in the colophon, 1 at the bottom of the picture), a colophon, and is painted on silk.

Thank you

浮雲追巌望茫然
千里平波送客船
咽岩灘聲響逢底
回頭長江水如煙

In my rough translation,
Stunned, I watch the floating clouds chasing each other around the rock
I see off the boat sailing over the vast expanse of smooth water
The voices come down to meet each other on the shore, and the big rock echos them back
Looking back, the Yangtze River looks like a curtain of fog

Colophon,
仙山其逸詩畫於堆翠光屋筆與下
Picture of Fairy Mountain and Its' Lost Poem、Painted at
the Duicuiguang (Piled up emerald green light) House

Upper seal,
河重 - (Overlaping streams) - Art-name
Lower seal,
松叟 -  Song the Old Man

Unidentifiable artist,

With regards,
I.Nagy

Thanks a lot Nagy.

Curious about the other seals. Are they also art names?

Thank you

Dear Alexander,
The big seal is the so-called leisure seal, containing the motto of the artist, which is nothing to do with the artist's name. On the other hand this inscription is written with "jinmen" characters (script used on ancient bronze objects). It is the hardest to decipher. It would take a longer time to decipher it.
With regards,
I.Nagy
