Subject:Need help with Vintage Scrolls...
Posted By: Shelley Fri, Feb 12, 2021 IP: 218.215.17.7

Hi,

My dad has these vintage (or antique?) scrolls and we don't know if they are of Chinese or Japanese origin...
I am wondering if there is someone who could kindly help. It will be much appreciated by us.
I think the painting of the horses is on paper and the others may be some silk material?

Kindest regards and many thanks!

Chinese.
Horse painting is attached to very valuable Xu Beihong. In your pic the painting is looking well executed so it may be a good idea you could send some close ups of it for a better assessment.
In the other two paintings I could not even read the characters much less the seals. The resolution is to small for me .
Peter

Thank you so much for your help! It's great for us to know more about these lovely paintings:)
Sorry you couldn't see the seal on the others. I will post some more pics now of the other 2 which hopefully will be clearer. If you could help with those that would be so great.

They are Chinese,
Pic.1,
悲鴻 - Bēihóng
Seal,
徐  - Xú

Xu Beihong 1895-1953
Famous Chinese painter known for his ink-wash paintings of horses.
Your scroll might be an older repro.

Pic.2,
鏡泊湖 - Jìngbō Lake
壬申六月竹溪老人冩 - In June of the Year of Water-Monkey (...1872-1932...) Painted by Zhúxī-lāoren (Old Man of Zhúxī) 
Seal,
很園 - Hěnyuán (Quiet garden) - Possibly a second pseudonym

Zhuxi-laoren is an unidentifiable pseudonym.
Zhuxi is a county name in Shiyan, Hubei. Probably
it was the native place of the artist.

Jingbo lake is located in Heilongjiang Province.

Pic.3,
月下幽禽 - Quiet birds under the moon
癸亥初夏 鶫岑冩 - In Early Summer of the Year of Water-Pig (...1863,1923...) Painted by Dōngcén
- Given name
Illegible seal,

Unidentifiable artist.

With regards,
I.Nagy

In light of the good quality pictures I have to
correct the followings,
Pic.2,
Seal,
復園 - Fùyuán
Three examples of this pseudonym are listed in the largest pseudonym dictionary, but none of them apply to this case.

Pic.3,
.........鶴岑冩 Painted by Hècén (Crane hill) -Pseudonym
Seal,
沈曉伯 - Shĕn Xiăobó - Surname and given name of artist

I can't find artist with this name.
