Posted By: rat Tue, Jul 30, 2019 hm. I'm afraid you are never going to get a satisfactory answer to your question. this is a recent Chinese picture that is pretending (not well) to be a painting by the famous artist Zhang Daqian. The date seems quite oddly written, I can't figure out what its first character is intended to be, but otherwise it was purportedly painted in the winter. That's not really important though because the handwriting and seal are also clearly not Zhang's. |

Posted By: Bill H Tue, Jul 30, 2019 Hi rat & hee woo. The inscription reads down as 辛酉冬月大千居士 (Xin You Dong Yue Da Qian Ju Shi), "Winter of Xinyou (1921) Daqian the Retired Scholar". |

Posted By: rat Tue, Jul 30, 2019 yeah 辛 is my thought too but it's oddly written, maybe just because the pic is upside down. But Zhang wasn't painting in this way in either 1921 or 1981 (since at that point he would have been plausibly retired) anyway; the inscription is a red herring because the picture is 1990s or later and unrelated to Zhang's skills. |
