Subject:Help reading chinese inscription
Posted By: Poet Thu, Feb 27, 2025 IP: 186.204.62.136


Hello Mr.I Nagy and others,

I would like to request assistance in reading and translating an inscription on a Chinese painting.
This is what I have been able to read so far:

苗日見黃苓迊某X人X徐熙野速黃荃富貫璀𤨪真如珠王滿前也X幅沫仜X法冢X癸X六月大X張季暖


Thanks in advance!

This is my reading and rough translation of the inscription.

曽見黄荃画某昔 云徐照野速黄荃 富貴璀璨真如珠 玉満前此也幅疑 黄荃沈周両家法 以慧殊仁兄法家 正之
癸亥六月 大千張 季爰

In the past I have seen a painting by Huang Quan. It is said that Xu Zhaoye had a rapid, rich and brilliant style like true pearl. This painting of Yu Man in front of me is a doubtful one.
Huang Quan and Shen Zhou were both the remarkable representants of the same school.
In June of the Year of Water-Pig (1983) by
Dachian Zhang Jiyuan
Upper seal,
季爰之印 Seal of Jiyuan
Lower seal,
大千 Dachian

Zhang Daqian 張大千 1899-1983

With regards,
I.Nagy
