Subject:help with identifying the artist’s seal and inscription
Posted By: Kasia Thu, Jun 11, 2026 IP: 131.111.185.224
Hello, I’m hoping to identify the artist’s seal and inscription on a Chinese painting I own. I’d appreciate any insight into the translation, artist, or period. Thank you. Kasia

玉井開花十丈長
仙人游戲費平章
若為藕大如船様
万斛愁思不可量
此當年大千爰翁游華山作

The Jade Well Lotus blossoms are ten feet long,
immortals play and pay tribute there.
If a lotus root were as large as a boat,
its weight in sorrow would be immerse.
At the same age, Master Daqian Yuan visited Mt. Hua and painted.
On the sixtieth day of the twenty-first century.

Upper seal,
偉聰之印　Seal of Weicong
Lower seal,
晏氏　　Master Yan

Yan Weicong 晏偉聰　1912-2003 (or 2006)
was a renowned modern Chinese painter. He was the son-in-law of Zhang Shanzi (Zhang Daqian's second elder brother) and the nephew-in-law of Zhang Daqian. He served as the vice president of the Zhang Daqian Art Research Institute.

With regards,
