Thanks so so very much I. Nagy for your precious time, due diligence, extremely caring committed effort, and expertise!!! The info is so valuable for me to understand the nature of the scroll!!!

It was passed on to me by the elder daughter of an old longtime collector, along with the other scrolls that you and others have helped with recently ( Mt. Fuji, Scenery of Mt. Yulong, Li Xilin's calligraphy, ...)

It is a large scroll (46" by 23" painting area) and does looks hand-painted? Please find below the close-up photos :)

The scroll condition seems old and probably has a damage on the very top since it was rolled up a few turns and nails and hooks were added for hanging

By the way, would really appreciate any guidance on how to go about authenticating this / finding out its origin 🙏
