Posted By: rat Mon, Dec 02, 2019 Nice little fan, sorry I can't be of much help. the artist's surname is Shen 沈 from the seal, but I am unsure of the given/art name at the top of the last column, and nothing shows up for the studio name in Tianjin mentioned at the end of the column. date is 丙子, probably 1876. Inputting a string of characters from the inscription doesn't yield any well-known poem, so presumably the inscription is original. I can't read enough of it to determine the subject of the image though. Someone with a better knowledge of Chinese folktale will likely identify her. I don't know of any story of a woman sweeping snow. |
