Subject:painting in a circle

Please read text, signature and seal.

Seeing the text following the border, would this originally have been painted to be a circle?
Or is the text added after cutting a makuri?

Thanks very much.
It helped me to find other paintings of him. In my opinion they confirm his style.

since I. Nagy has done his? usual masterful job translating, the missing piece of information is that the painter worked on a piece of silk that was already cut into a rough circle. the resulting image would have been mounted to a fan; damage from the central support (cf https://tinyurl.com/44hm8v6p) remains in the upper half of the image.
