Subject:Chinese Scroll Find, would like help with info/value.
Posted By: Thomas Fri, Jan 12, 2018 IP: 47.187.195.124

Hello, a friend of mine came to me with this piece and since I sell on ebay asked if I could value this piece. I have no idea where to even start except to post pics for others who might be familiar and help. I'm attaching all pics I thought contained marks that could help identify. Please let me know if anything else might be needed. Thank you very much! Thomas

Reading of Inscriptions,
夏泉山荘   Summer Spring Montain Cottage
甲寅年仲夏上後 Year of Wood-Tiger (..1854,1914..) Late Midsummer
恆寛畫   PIcture of Heng Kuan "Pernament relaxation"
- Art-name of Artist
I could not find any clue to the above art-name neither in my dictionaries nor on the net.
Unfortunately, the seal underneath, probably with the name of painter is illegible. The other seals
(partly readable) are leisure or collectors` seals.

Inscription on the back side of mounting,
夏泉 Xia Quan (Summer Spring) are the beginning two characters of the title. It could be an occasional coincidence that Xia Quan (夏泉)1388-1470 is the name of a famous Ming Dynasty painter. It may not be a mere coincidence that not the full title is written on it. - Good eyecatcher.
The possibility of Xia Quan is is excluded.

With regards,
I.Nagy

this is a painting done within the past few decades masquerading as something done during the imperial era. I'd think $50 or so.
