Hi Everyone,
I need your help in order to identify this artist, please. As usual, your support is highly appreciated.
Best regards!

Looks like a draft painting for a fan by Yamamoto Baiitsu, or just a study. He usually does drafts like this. Interesting paper.

Hi Peter,
Thank you so much for your help.
I have a series of pages like this, all tied together forming a 4 m long handscroll. Attached are 3 additional pictures.

Now that clinches it. All are drafts by him. This is how he works too. Berlin Museum has a whole screen with drafts by him. Later he would execute a painting on better paper or silk.

you should use a better paperweight on this though....

Hi Peter,
Thank you once again for your feedback and comments.
You are right. The work needs some additional care. As explained before, those pages are tied ​​together forming a 4 meter long scroll. With the handling over the years, those pages became a little wrinkled. Therefore, the next step for me is to send the work to a restorer in order to make it flat and more stable.
Best regards,
Kemel
