Oops something went wrong,
At the end of colophon the signature reads correctly;
大千居士 - Daqian-jushi - Daqian the Retired Scholar

Dear I.Nagy,
Thank you so I have a copy of a copy. If it had been Zang Daqian's original copy I would of been rich. Is there any clue as to who made the copy of the copy? Are the seals false? Is the longer calligraphy a poem ? As it is in cursive script must be hard to read.
Thanks again
Regards
Michael

Dear Michael,
Sorry for the sloppy language. I wanted to say a reprint from the original copy. In 1949 the Rong Baozhai Publishing Company (Peking) reprinted the "Heavenly Maiden Making Incense Offering Painted by Tang Painter". The reprint was so successfull that it was difficult for the artist to identify which one was the original.

With regards,
I.Nagy
