Subject:Any information on painting and calligraphy welcome
Posted By: Ellen Saint Sat, Aug 31, 2019 IP: 2601:142:8200:fc60:8
I purchased these two together, and don't know if they are related. The picture seems to be an original ink/painting. I thought it might be Lao Tzu, riding an ox (but no beard) Any information on either piece is welcome - painter, subject, and style etc. i am also having trouble orienting photos correctly. I could provide more photos. Thank you.

The picture depicts Laozi (Lao-tsu) on the back of the legendary blue ox.
Seals,
子　zi (Child) 守　shou (Guard,defend,observe)
Unidentifiable artist.

Calligraphy is a citation from a poem written by Du Fu (Tu Fu) 712-770, the great Tang Dynasty poet.
野寺垂楊裏
春畦亂水間
美花多映竹
好鳥不歸山..... in my rough traanslation
There is an abandoned temple beyond the weeping willlows,
Water turbulently flows between the spring fields,
Beautiful flowers seem to be reflected on the bamboos、
Pretty birds will not return to the mountains,..........

Without dating
Signature,
宋頌蓮　-　Song Songlian
Seal reads,
瑞巳　- Ruixi （Jade snake) - Pseudonym

Unidentifiable calligrapher,

With regards,
I.Nagy

Oops,
梁　Liang (Rat's)reading is correct,
梁頌蓮　-Liang Songlian (Female)

With regards.

Thank you! The poem is beautiful. I have been looking online trying to understand the use of seals vs signatures. Not sure I understand on the calligraphy.
