Thank you for replying, mr Nagy. It did raise more questions though. I dove into it a bit more and found this:

https://www.catawiki.com/en/l/100543248-ink-and-color-on-paper-painting-plum-bossom-attributed-to-wang-chengxi-china

Here, the artist is called Wang Chengxi and the painting is in the same style as mine. Could it be that the maker is Wang Chengxi instead of Wang Zhencheng? Or is it the same person?

Dear Jona,
The name of the painter you found on the internet is Wang Chengxi 王成喜, not Wang Zhencheng 王箴成, which is not the same person.
The surname Wang is one of the most common Chinese surnames.In addition to them, there are dozens of known and unknown painters who paint similar plum paintings.
Believe me, English-language search engines are not very useful when it comes to identifying Chinese works of art.
Regards,
I.Nagy
