Reading of signature,
祥雲 - Shōun - Auspicious clouds - Art name of the painter
Reading of seal,
竜 ‐ Ryu - Dragon
In the largest Japanese artist ID dictionary there are four artists with art-name "Shōun" listed.
Fujii Shōun (藤井祥雲)1892-
Onoda Shōun (小野田祥雲)1874-
Arii Shōun (有井祥雲)1885-
Nonouchi Yasutarō (野々内保太郎)1902-
Until 1932 used the "Shōun" art-name.
Unfortunately, no signatures and seal examples are given to any of the listed artists, and there is no reference which could be connected to the "Ryu - Dragon" seal.
Conclusion, your artist could be a fifth unknown "Shōun".
With regards,
I.Nagy
