Subject:Chinese Woodblock?
Posted By: Roger Sun, Dec 29, 2024 IP: 71.205.135.53
Hello Friends,
Recently bought this painting. I believe it is Chinese but not sure. I would greatly appreciate any help identifying the artist.
Thank you!

A typical Chinese picture expressing good wishes.
On the top the same 福 (fú)　"happiness" seal was applied incorrectly turned 90 degrees to the right.
The lower impression is the correct standing position.

The Chinese word for "fish" (yú) is phonetically identical with the word meaning 'abundance, affluence ' (yú)

With regards,
I.Nagy
