Title,
着風　　-　Chilled by the wind
Seal,
三橋居士　-　Sanqiao jushi - Retired Scholar of the
Three Bridges (Pseudonym)
This pseudonym was used by the Ming Dynasty calligrapher, seal-cutter and painter Wen Peng
文彭　1498-1753
I have found the very same seal print in one of my seal dictionaries (Under Wen Peng)
In the literature I did not find any trace if
Wen Peng painted Christian pictures at all.
Pseudonyms in China do not have copyrights, but
the seals are supposed to be differently cut.
Furthermore, your picture doesn't look that old.
Intentional deception ?

With regards,
I.Nagy

My father sent it to his mother around 1947 from post war Japan. It was a gift from a girl to him. Thank you for the information.

What I find interesting is the piece is CHRIST IN GETHSEMANE after a painting by Heinrich Hoffman done about 1890. Nice painting and very unsual subject though there are some devout Chinese Christians.
