I do not know if I correctly picked up the characters, but the google translator gives me that these are female names
俵子房元画 Yuko Tatsumi ga
浪子房之画 Fumano Namiko ga
In this I strongly doubt
Best regards Yura

The characters are 張子房之圖 a picture of Zhang ZiFang.

Zhang ZiFang is also known as Zhang Liang, who was a significant figure in Chinese History. A google search will reveal the whole story.

The seal appears to read WenChang - perhaps the artist's pen name.

文昌

Dear mikeoz
I do not doubt your knowledge at all. However, after identifying Mr. Nagy as the author of the picture, as a Japanese - Masunaga Itsumin (1902-?)
I already hesitate
I understand 19 drawings, which are evidenced by documents arrived from Japan before 1939
In addition, in the 1980s, one of the drawings, which depicts a tortoise-minogame 蓑亀, attributed to the Chinese Qí Báishí (1864-1957), but found that it was Kiyoharu Hishikawa 菱川清春 (1820s - 1830s)
Best regards, Yura
