Subject:Sparrow & Plum Painting Help
Posted By: AsianAddict Sun, Apr 21, 2024 IP: 2405:da40:4365:5400:
I've been trying to work out the characters of the signature and two seals for some time now but have only managed to guess at a few and would like some help.

The characters of the signature totally evade me but hazard a guess at the seal being 敦.

I think the last three characters of the seal bottom right may be 美堂王 with no idea of the first one.

Correction and addition is welcomed.

Thank you in advance, Dave.

Let's start with the seal on the right bottom,
典美堂主　Master of the Damei Hali - Pseudonym
The situation seems somewhat more complicated with the signature and the seal. The signature is so cursive that we should dispense with reading it.
However, the seal is not easy either.
Left side,
Radical 阜→阝 this often indicates 戸
In addition there is a　口 and a 攴 .
If we put them together, we get only one character, which we read as -　啟　Qi　-　Surname
So the full signature can be read as:
啟之　(Work) of Qi

However, I can be wrong.

With regards,
I.Nagy

Hello and thank you I. Nagy for your generosity of time and knowledge.

I've taken some time to look into your suggestions and will spend more time doing so because, as you point out, there is no certainty as of yet.

I'll report back if further information comes to light.

Again, thank you, Dave.
