Subject:My first Chinese Painting, help with Transtlation
Posted By: JJ Tue, Jan 12, 2021 IP: 174.134.45.81

My first Chinese Art Piece-recently found in California. Can anyone translate or give me any information on the artist, style, and/or history? I believe is done on silk. 52 inches (132cm) in height by 22 inches (56cm) in width. Thank you.

Zhang Yin 張崟 1761-1829
Xian-jushi (Scholar of the Sunset Hut) - Pseudonym
Writer, historian, calligrapher and painter of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
Native of Dantu (Zhejiang) Jiangsu. Lived in Hangzhou. He was born into a wealthy family of officials. He was good at painting of landscapes, flowers and grasses, and bamboos and stones.

The text is an inscription on a cliff in Wenzhou from the Tang Dynasty.

Your painting is a copy. If it were original, it would be worth of a smaller fortune.
