Subject:Chinese embroidery
Posted By: Jona Tue, Jun 16, 2026 IP: 87.213.130.250
I am looking for information about this partly embroidered scroll. Age, maker, subject, translation, etc.
Any information is welcome.

This scroll with partial embroidery seems to be Korean.
The subjects depicted and the motifs on the characters' clothing are based on Korean (Joseon Dynasty-era) attire and customs.

Painting of chrysanthemum on the wall:
I try to read the inscription,
東願採菊　ca. "I wish to pick chrysanthemun in the east"　the second character is very ambiguous, so I can't say for sure.
As I understand it, the signature is,
胡明建　Ho Myeong-geon (Ho Myong-jon)
Since the given name "Myeong-geon" is a male name, I assume it is not the name of the person who did the embroidery.

With regards,
I.Nagy

This is Korean rather than Chinese. Can't make out the signature next to the title, but there's a painted version of it for sale on ebay at the moment (197473664649), so both are likely copying a third original.
