Subject:japanese watercolor mystery artist
Posted By: Matt M. Mon, Dec 31, 2018 IP: 99.33.196.67

Hello everyone. I was told to come here for any Asian questions on the items I inherited from my grandmother. She was an avid collector of all sorts. This piece is a watercolor, Japanese i'm assuming with writing and two seals. Please, if anyone could lend a helping hand on the artist and wording I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks so much!

Try using Google. Since many of his paintings have been sold at auction, if you put "Lu "xingtang" painting auction" into google, Artnet has many results. You'll have to subscribe to Artnet to see prices. A 1 day pass is $32.50. There are other auction results as well.

Cheers,
Stan
