The scroll is Chinese.
Inscription reads,
乙酉年仲夏  Year of Wood-Rooster (...1705,1765...) Midsummer
馬荃     Ma Quan (Signature)
1st seal, 馬荃 Ma Quan
2nd seal, 紅香 Jiang Xiang (Courtesy name)

達磨渡江  Dharma crossing the river (Title)

Ma Quan (1669-1722)Qing Dynasty female artist
Painted mostly flowers,birds and insects.
On the net you can find her works - only flowers and birds. The subject of this painting is unexpected from her. Entirely different world.

Forged artwork from China always been a big business.

With regards,
I.Nagy
