the more I look at the calligraphy, the less convincing it looks to me. as already indicated this is certainly not by Zhao himself. I think this is a fairly recent attempt to deceive, and may not be copied from an extant scroll at all. Alternatively, it may be a copy of a pre-existing bad copy of a Zhao scroll. in the many hundreds of years between Zhao's era and the advent of photography and modern means of reproduction there were few ways for collectors/dealers/art lovers to view genuine examples of an artist's work, much less compare them easily.
