I would be thankful for information on the artist who painted this. I am sorry I cannot post a better picture, this painting is for sale at an auction.

thank you very much, Mr. Nagy, this was very helpful. With your information, I found a Chinese appraisal of an almost identical scroll, stating that it is a fake, so mine is certainly also a recent copy.
