Subject:Help with identifying and translating picture
Posted By: Stella Thu, Apr 08, 2021 IP: 2.102.211.88
This picture belonged to my grandmother, she owned it from at least the early 70s.

It has been part of my life for many years and I have always wanted to know what it says, and who painted it.

Any help gratefully received,
Thank you.

I found the answer myself, once I had uploaded the picture I could reverse search it.

A print by David Kwok (Kwo Ta-Wei)

The words say

罕见古人有此作法，今试为之，高明者必有以教我也

乙未 大维

郭大维

I have rarely seen older works in this style, so I tried it. A more qualified person would be able to teach me more about it

Year of Yiwei (乙未), by Dawei

After 40 years my curiosity is finally sated.
