Subject:artist or other information on porcelain plaque

Hello, who might help with this inscription and mark? Thank you

This is a third quarter, 20th century plaque, determinate at the outset by the presence of girls amidst the playing boys, a fem-lib phenomena that didn't materialize until the Peoples Republic period.

The inscription in the left hand stack contains mention of the 'Renxu' (壬戌) cyclical year of 1962, as well as the character "qiu' (秋), which is 'autumn' and can be a surname as well. Which prevails over the other isn't entirely clear to me, but I sense that it's 'autumn' because the stack ends simply with 'at Jingdezhen' and not 'painted at Jingdezhen' as far as I can tell.

Best regards,

Bill H.

I took another crack at the character I failed to recognize at first. Believe it is 'bo' (播), meaning 'to plant or sow', wherein 'Qiu bo' (秋播) forms the term 'autumn sowing'. Thus the last stack in the inscription would be '1962 seasonal sowing at Jingdezhen'.

Best regards,

Bill H.

My reading and interpretation of inscriptions,
孺笑雲開天真趣
送子待諭献神童
時在壬戌之秋畫于珠山
The clouds disperse and the children's smiles get real attention
The godsent child prodigies offer entertainment
In the Autumn of the Year of Water-Dog (1982)
Painted at Zhushan*
Seal,
之印 - zhiyin - The seal (used by unknown painters only for decoration)

* Zhushan - Dictrict of Jingdezhen city

With regards,
I.Nagy
